Drew Stafford at practiceDrew Stafford at practice

The Jets are getting ready for their third game of the season.  Lines and defence pairs come to us from me as I was at the MTS Centre for today’s skate:

Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Perreault-Stafford
Connor-Burmistrov-Armia
Matthias-Lowry-Tanev

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Myers
Chiarot-Postma

Hellebuyck
Hutchinson

Bruins lines come to us from Nicholas Goss of NESN:

Marchand–Backes–Pastrnak
Spooner–Krejci–Heinen
Beleskey–Nash–Hayes
Moore–Schaller–Acciari

Chara–Carlo
Krug–O’Gara
Liles–Miller

Rask
Khudobin

Player Audio:

Mark Scheifele:  What does he expect from the Bruins?  What does this team do best?  How do they create offence/chances?  Has he noticed anything new from Wheeler as a captain?

Blake Wheeler: On when he feels the need to address the team.  Have there been changes since he has become captain?  On the opponent scoring four straight against them in two straight games.  Relying on a past experience when playing the Bruins.

Josh Morrissey:  How does he feel with a couple of games under his belt?  What will it be like going up against the Marchand line?  How important is a pre-scout when he doesn’t have experience playing against these guys?  On the week ahead.

Coach Audio:

Paul Maurice:  How does he keep the young guys positive so that they can keep learning?  Is this the most challenging roster he has ever had to start a season?  On the process of removing a player from the roster.  The value of the journey (experience) and destination (wins).  On the WHA ‘Hot Line’.  Being trailblazers.  Team defence.

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.
