Coach Noel gave his players the day off yesterday to rest them up for tonight’s match-up against division rival Tampa Bay.  He met with the media this morning.

Coach NoelComments on firing of coach Boucher.  What was it like when he took over for coach Hitchcock?  Difficult part of coming in when someone has been released.  Did he get a sense players are more energized?  Is there a malaise hitting teams this season?  Managing the players energy (thinking for game vs. playoffs).  Injury updates (Wright – on IR, Stuart – will not be in game, Hainsey – not in game, Enstrom – off IR and in tonight, Peluso – week to week, Slater – week to week, Mario Lemieux – oh we don’t have him).  Optional practice.  Keys to managing injuries.

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.
