With the GM meetings in Toronto it was an opportunity for Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli to sit down with GM Kevin Cheveldayoff to talk about the historic 14-1-0 start for his hockey club to begin the 2024-25 season. (This interview was done before they beat the Rangers 6-3 last night).

Topics:
2:15 – Did you see this start coming?
3:15 – What has enabled the team to come together and be so productive?
4:45 – Improved power play
6:45 – New coaching staff, but still familiar
9:45 – Continuity leading to success
16:10 – Resisting the urge to rebuild the team after playoff loss
18:00 – Growth of the leadership group
21:55 – Kyle Connor has a little more swag this year
25:10 – The value of Connor Hellebuyck

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
