Winnipeg Jets 2016-17 Training Camp Day 18: Coach Maurice

On a day the team got down to 24 on the roster the Jets bench boss spoke following skate.

Topics:  Background on the goalie decision.  How did Pavelec react to the news?  How hard it it for a guy who has been here since team relocated to not be part of this team moving forward?  Does this show the depth the organization now has? How would he describe the Jets blueline?  Filling the Trouba void by committee?  When he looks at Morrissey what has he seen in his growth?  Was Tanev long shot to make the team?  On telling the young players they are in the NHL.  Injury updates for Stafford and Matthias.  Is there a clear cut #1 goalie?  Will it be a tandem?  Does he think its important to establish who is the #1 goalie?  Has he decided who Morrissey will be paired with?  Expectations for the Jets this year.

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.
