Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel pre-game press conference

Coach Noel met with the media prior to the game against the Islanders.

Coach Noel – Thoughts going into tonight’s game.  Offence still a challenge?  Living in the West easier on the team?  Montoya going tonight.  What would he like to see duplicated from Monday’s win?  Expecting a more intense game?  What Buff can do to the opposition.  On the contribution by Olli Jokinen.  

Notable Quotes:

“I don’t care if you’re in the East, West or Japan.  It doesn’t matter.  There are no easy games in the NHL”.

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.
