Winnipeg Jets 2015-16 pre-season Day 13 audio – Coach Paul Maurice

Coach Maurice – What does Nic Petan bring to the 4th line that they haven’t had in the past?  Is there a change on the way 4th lines are being used in the NHL?  Is it exciting to have a mix of veterans/prospects or is it a challenge?  Is it too soon to say Nic Petan has made the team?  Has he seen enough from Ladd/Little/Burmistrov or work in progress?  Hasn’t tinkered with Wheeler/Scheifele/Stafford, does that tell us something?  How does your identity change when the skill set of the personalities change?  Does he have to adjust his game plan based on the skill on the roster?  Has he noticed a difference in Hutchinson this training camp?  How important is it to have a level headed backup goalie?  How does he approach the ‘coach’s challenge?  .

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.
