Coach Noel post-practice press conference

The Jets had a spirited practice today for about an hour and a half.  Jim Slater was back on the ice.  So was Derek Meech in a red non-contact jersey.  Following the practice, coach Noel spoke* with the media.

Coach Noel –  Injury update (Little looking like a player, Buff won’t be on trip).  Not pushing players back too quicklyTeam hasn’t missed a beat despite injuries.  Improvement in goals against.  Decreasing the teaching.  Things Jets are doing right.  Jets road record.  What will be good enough?  Atmosphere in MTS Centre helps team prepare for road?  Excitement to get on the road.  Benefits to the team.  Beating team’s they need to.

*our audio equipment was unavailable so the recording isn’t the usual quality, but is sufficient to hear what the coach has to say about the team.
