Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel pre-game scrum from Rogers Arena

The Jets did not practice at Rogers Arena in advance of tonight’s game against the Canucks due to the 5 pm start time in Vancouver.  However Coach Noel met with the media prior to puck drop.

Coach Noel – Thoughts on the Canucks.  Keys for playing a team for the first time in two years.  Keys to defending against the Sedins.  Matching lines.  Keys to taking advantage of their PP opportunities.  Same lineup?  (Tangradi out, Peluso out).  D-pairs.

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.
