Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel press conference

Coach Noel gave his troops a day off yesterday but resumed a fast-paced practice today:

Coach NoelHas his coaching manual.  Look of his lineup.  Wheeler’s game.  Need to move Wheeler to Kane/Jokinen line.  Play of Ron Hainsey.  Play against the Penguins.  Play of Antropov.  (Gushes about Nik).  Planning for Crosby/Malkin.  Play of defence.  Evaluation of Mark Scheifele (not a race to 5.  needs to have better puck control).  Won’t reveal tomorrow’s starter.

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.
