Could Jets fans have something to cheer again?

The NHL and True North Sports and Entertainment are disputing a report that a deal to bring the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg is done.  The Globe and Mail cited sources as saying the announcement confirming the sale will be made Tuesday.    But a deal and subsequent move to Winnipeg could be close.  One agent says Thrasher players have been quietly told to make new real estate plans.

In playoff action, Boston's David Krejci scored 69 seconds into the game, and Tim Thomas made the lead stand up with 31 saves, as the Bruins beat Tampa Bay 2-0, to take a two-games-to-one lead in the Eastern Conference final.  Andrew Ference also scored for the Bruins in the third period.  Game Four in the series goes Saturday in Tampa.
