Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel pre-game press conference

The Jets are in Edmonton and face off against the Oilers tonight.  Listen to bench boss coach Claude Noel speak to the assembled media prior to the game.

Coach Noel  – The season is upon them, initial thoughts.  What does he expect from Trouba in his first NHL game?  Thinking playoffs.  Good opportunity for Mark Scheifele.  How much does having Charlie Huddy help with Trouba?  Chance to start a new rivalry with the Oilers.  How does he approach the game as the road club with all the opening ceremonies?  Favourite part of opening night?  What does he see in Trouba?  Did playing in college vs. Jr. help with Trouba?  Will he work Trouba in slowly?
