Coach Maurice:  What are his expectations?  What does he look at for Mark Letestu in today’s game?  Will he be line matching.  His early impression of David Gustafsson.  Gustafsson being a Swedish Adam Lowry.  Evaluation of North American vs European game.  Is Gustafsson a pure centre?  Does his time in the KHL help in transitioning Chibisov to the NHL game?  Keys to Logan Shaw.

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.
