Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel pre-game scrum from First Niagara Center

The Jets were practicing at First Niagara Center in advance of tonight’s game against the Sabres.

Coach NoelLeader in terms of consistency.  Kane doesn’t have to shoulder the load.  Record against the Eastern Conference.  Will his coaching be more hands on or hands off in second game of back to back.   Easier to have his players focus on themselves rather than opponent?  What’s he looking from Eric O’Dell if he gets into the lineup?  How has O’Dell been playing?  Could he be used on the wing? Decision on a goalie.

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.
