It’s been an emotional rollercoaster for Winnipeg sports fans — from the surreal sight of Jonathan Toews putting on a Jets jersey, to the sting of losing Nikolaj Ehlers in free agency, to another frustrating loss for the Bombers. We covered it all on Winnipeg Sports Talk this week, with insight from some of the best in the business.
