Audio:

Josh Morrissey:  On facing the Penguins and specifically Sidney Crosby.  Does he still have ‘wow’ moments when facing elite players like Crosby?  On simplifying their game.

Patrik Laine:  When did he realize that he could be successful at this level?  His thoughts on playing Sidney Crosby.  On the challenge that the Penguins present.  On being able to carry over his success from the last game to tonight’s game.

Coach Maurice:  Thoughts on Sidney Crosby.  Update on injured players.  When did he realize Laine could have success at the NHL level?  Looking back 12 years ago at Crosby and comparing that to Laine.  Laine’s adjustment to the North American rinks from the ones he played on in Finland.  On the importance of not taking penalties.

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.
