WINNIPEG, MANITOBA — Greetings from what feels like the North Pole. It was dangerously cold Sunday but heating up to a minus-14 today. No complains here. I’m enjoying a nice lunch at the Tavern outside MTS Centre, where the Avalanche will visit the Jets at 7 p.m. CT. I’ll be at nearby Boston Pizza (a Canadian company, by the way) at 5:30 CT and do radio with TSN 1290 and Hustler and Lawless.
