Miscellaneous
We hit the jackpot this week! Somehow, amidst all the chaos that seems to be Winnipeg Jets Training Camp, we are joined by Murat Ates of The Athletic Winnipeg, where he works as a beat writer for the Jets. I have no idea how he found the time to talk to us! Before talking hockey, Murat explains how he got his start in journalism and how he began covering the Jets. We take the temperature at Bell MTS Iceplex so far, discussing everything from the supposed stubbornness of Paul Maurice, to the great leadership of Blake Wheeler during the Patrik Laine situation. The Jets defensemen are also a hot topic, and Murat goes in depth on how a personnel change might not be the worst thing amongst the blue liners, and he also expresses his excitement for our youngest defensemen still in camp, 18-year old Ville Heinola. Is there any benefit to keeping him with the big club? After speaking to Murat for close to 30 minutes, Everyone’s favourite co-host parachutes into the episode, and we go on to break down the entire Western Conference with our extremely accurate and unbiased predictions. Do the Jets stand a chance in the completely stacked Central Division? How will Canada’s teams fair in the weaker Pacific? We’ve got it all for you right here! Enjoy the episode, and don’t forget to check out Murat Ates’s great work at www.theathletic.com ! Thanks for listening, and share this episode with a friend!
