Winnipeg Jets 2017-18 Training Camp Day 3

The Jets hit the ice again today at the IcePlex.  Here are the lines and D pairs from group one that coach Maurice rolled out via Sara Orlesky of TSN as follows:

Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler
Perreault-Little-Ehlers
Connor-Lowry-Armia
Copp-Hendricks-Tanev
Matthias-Roslovic-Petan

Morrissey-Trouba
Stanley-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Poolman
Kulikov-Myers

Mason & Hellebuyck

Audio:

Dustin Byfuglien:  How would he describe this offseason?  His first impressions of Steve Mason and what can he do for the Jets.  What are the tricks to getting used to a new goalie as a defenceman in the NHL?  Addition of Matt Hendricks.  What are the keys to getting off to a good start and establishing a winning mentality early in the year?  What are the elements about this club that give him hope for the season?  With a healthy D, how does he see the minutes shaking out?  What has he seen from Logan Stanley?  Will the cutting down of minutes make him a better player?  Is he more or less patient with younger

Adam Lowry:  Nice from a player’s perspective to get into game action quickly?  Keys to shaking off the summer rust and getting into pre-season action.  Is it hard to curb the enthusiasm early on with the additions the team made over the summer?  What does he have to do to take strides to make himself a better player?

Coach Maurice:  Did he get stuff accomplished this weekend that he wanted to?  What is the most important thing a bubble player can show during pre-season?  Who will start tomorrow and will that goalie play 60?  What will be a happy medium for Byfuglien in terms of minutes with six healthy D?  What are his expectations from Byfuglien this season?  What is the next step he’d like to see Adam Lowry take this season?  Has Byfuglien’s patience gotten better?  When a player signs a lucrative contract does it necessitate a conversation that they don’t need to “justify the contract”?  How will he pick a partner for Byfuglien?

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.
