Following a tough loss to the Penguins last night, Coach Noel put his players through a quick practice this afternoon at the MTS Centre and met with the media soon after.

Coach Noel –  Injury update (Wright – day-to-day.  Stuart – day-to-day.  Peluso – week-to-week.  Slater – week-to-week +.  Redmond – Expected in-town in early April).  Hainsey & Antropov on maintenance days (jokes – not being traded).  Can he put yesterday away and move forward.  Does he think his team competed well?  Did he get an explanation as to why Malkin’s goal counted?  Good chance to widen the gap tomorrow.  Comfort level (“Even if it did hit, I wouldn’t tell you until the season was over”)  What does he take from the last game against Hurricanes?  Good to see the discipline in last night’s game?  Will Pavelec start against Hurricanes?  Did Evander Kane shoot the puck at the ref and was he warned about it?  

Ends scrum with this: “Have a good…..Friday”.

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.
