Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel scrum from MTS IcePlex

Coach Noel met with the media following today’s practice at the IcePlex.

Coach NoelUpdate on Evander Kane (Won’t be a player tomorrow).  Thoughts on Chris Thorburn filling in.  Is the team ready to face talented Western Conference teams?  His view of the road trip.  Has John Albert been a surprise (assessment of his play)?  Has the team grown in their understanding of what it takes to win on a consistent basis?  Learning to compete for a full 60 minutes.  What can he do to avoid first game back letdown (Classic response).  Update on Zach Bogosian (bump in the road).  Sitting 18th overall, too early to start to panic?  When he works with the veteran players does he also help them to grow as leaders or does he trust them to take it and run with it?

A:  “Usually you don’t bring it up……”

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.
