Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel pre-game scrum from Rexall Place

The Jets practiced at Rexall Place in advance of tonight’s game against the Oilers.  Coach Noel met with the media prior to puck drop.

Coach NoelDoes he need to say more to get his troops motivated?  Does he expect Stuart to be a player?  Big difference heading into the Christmas break with a win vs. a loss.  What’s the plan with the goalie (Pavelec).  What went into that decision?  What would he do if a Jets fans tossed a Jets jersey on the ice at MTS?  Consistency talk.  How much has Mark Scheifele’s game grown since his first game this season at Rexall?  Could he be a number one centre in this league?  Challenge the Oilers present.

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.
