Coach Noel spoke to the media prior to the double dose of the Capitals which his team will see Thursday and Friday.

Coach Noel –  Having the Jets staying on task.  What is Coach Noel’s blueprint for keeping his team staying on task?  (funny response by coach).  Little/Ladd/Wheeler line an unquestioned 1st line.  If things aren’t going well for that line do they need to be corrected or can they guide their own path?  Playing same team at the National Hockey League level is unusual, his thoughts.  Going back to Moose days, was difficult to sweep a back-to-back, still the case?  Al Montoya’s status “getting close”.  Thoughts on Burmistrov’s game.  Does decision on giving Pavelec a break rest on Montoya’s status?

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.
