Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel pre-game scrum from TB Times Forum

The Jets were practicing at the renovated Tampa Bay Times Forum in advance of tonight’s game against the Panthers.

Coach Noel –  On why he is starting Montoya.  What response he expect from his team?   Using Thursday as motivation or leave it in the past?  Status of Frolik and Kane.

“We’ve seen the pattern too much for my liking where you have to lose one to get motivated to play the next one.  C’mon.”

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.
