Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice post-game press conference

Coach Maurice met with the media following the game against the Hurricanes.

Coach Maurice – Assessment of the game.  Line match-ups.  The play of Trouba.  More on Trouba.  On Pavelec’s play.  On Chris Thorburn.  Importance of the game, did he sense that prior to the game?  Feel surreal to be back in the building?  Bryan Little’s play.  Keys on 5 on 3 kill.  Feel like he is back in the playoff hunt?

Coach Quotes:

Assessing game – “Wasn’t our best game. I don’t know that we played to our strengths…Good to win a game even when you aren’t at your best”

On Scheifele – “I’ve got no problem putting Mark Scheifele out on the ice against anyone”.

On Trouba – “Great confidence in a young man to want to make the play that decides the game. Not sit back in a tie game”

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.
