The Tricolore set foot in Winnipeg earlier as we speak, and to say the least, the local weather is much from ideally suited. As everyone knows, Manitoba shouldn’t be solely chilly, it’s additionally not the most popular metropolis within the NHL. Nonetheless, Justin Barron’s father shall be delighted to take a while off to go to the Canada Life Centre tomorrow evening.
Why do you ask? As a result of his two sons will cross swords because the Tricolore embark on their annual vacation tour, and he’s taken some trip time to get there, as Jean-François Chaumont of Le Journal de Montréal experiences.

For his half, Morgan performs a supporting function in Winnipeg, however his group is doing very effectively, whereas the Jets are one of many NHL’s powerhouses.
As Chaumont experiences, the 2 Barron brothers have been very aggressive since they had been very younger, each in hockey and even golf. They’ve had very completely different profession paths.
