Another day of team building in Banff and another day for coach Noel to discuss the upcoming regular season.

Coach Noel post-game audio – His thoughts on practice today.  How would he assess the two days in Banff?  Is it like cramming for an exam?  Was the altitude training part of the thinking being in Banff?  What can he tell about Dustin Byfuglien’s status (day to day, expected to be a player).  Update on Bogosian and Clitsome (look ok).  Getting down to final decision for the roster.  If Scheifele remains with guys he was with today (Kane/Setoguchi) what went into making him 2nd line centre?  What is his level of concern with not having a permanent linemate for Evander Kane?

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.
