Coach pre-game audio:
Paul Maurice: On Vladimir Tarasenko ability. On Patrik Laine’s shot. Does he enjoy coaching against someone like Hitchcock? How has Michael Hutchinson handled the inactivity? On the Blues. Is it fair to ask for more from Byfuglien given his minutes? On more production from 33?
