The Jets had a quick practice with almost everyone on the ice, with the exception of Big Buff and Bryan Little. Jim Slater was on the ice but will be a game time decision. Chris Mason gets the start. Here is the audio:
Chris Mason – Getting start. Won’t be wearing new pads. Expecting from L.A. Seeing something different from Jets. Ready to go. Importance of Buff. Flood’s impact. Importance of final two home games.
Patrice Cormier – Getting the call up. Disappointment not starting with the Jets. Playing hard in the AHL. Getting called up. Focus on his game.
Blake Wheeler – Learning to play with new linemates. What they lose with Buff out of lineup. World Junior talk. Familiarity with Kings. Kings talk.
Ron Hainsey – Playing without Buff. Kings road weariness. Talk about Kings. Difficulty in switching up defensive pairings. Things to build on from Colorado game. Playing with lead on the road.
Tanner Glass – Scoring in 1st period. New coach in L.A. Knowing L.A from time in Vancouver.
Tim Stapleton – Expectations of the Kings. Straddling playoff line. Lack of Big Buff. Consistency in his game. Playing with Kane/Wheeler. Tight game tonight. Being 13th forward.
Zach Bogosian – Playing without Buff. Consistency in defensive pairings. Flood’s impact. Overall game plan for tonight.
Coach Noel – Injury update(Slater/Little/Byfuglien). L.A. game plan. Big Buff baby update. New Year’s plans.
