For Coach Noel’s comments click here.

– We are happy we got the win. The two PP goals they got, we didn’t look towards. Goal from Frolik was key.

– “I thought the Scheifele line had a good night. They helped us.” (Interesting he see’s it as Scheifele line).

– “I thought Trouba was outstanding. For a young player, in his first NHL game, I thought he was terrific”.

– “I thought Pavelec really came up big at key times”

– “I thought he (Buff) played hard. Did a lot of good things in the game”.

And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
