Winnipeg Jets audio from MTS Centre

Following the open practice the guys assembled to speak with the media.

Chris ThorburnTeam over past week. Looking ahead to the road trip in California.  More confidence from last three games to play teams like Ducks and Kings.  Body language of his coach.  His thoughts on the baseball game at practice.

Jacob TroubaHow did he spend the night after the win?  How special is it to take his dad on the trip. Looking ahead to Anaheim and San Jose.

Evander Kane Update on his hand. Any idea about how close he is? Will he share it? Being back participating in a full practice.  What has he noticed from the team under Coach Maurice?  Does this system suit his game?  On the coaching change.  Change in the mood in the room?  Talk about his injury and fighting in the game (more below).  His thoughts on the Cgy/Van game.  On the rookies Trouba and Scheifele.

“Fighting is a part of the game.  It’s a good part of the game.  It’s a necessary part of the game and if the NHL or fighting in hockey had a debate I’d be on the fighting side.  You have to have it to patrol the game”.

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.
