Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice post-game press conference (Stars)

Topics:  On the game.  Did the guys get the win for Ladd?  Players who play at Ladd’s level.  On the level of emotion from the players on Ladd leaving this team.  On what Ladd has taught the young players on the team.  Where does this leave this team in terms of winning now and long term?  On winning with the youth of this team.  Armia’s goal.  Any thoughts on Marko Dano coming into the lineup?

Coach Quotes:

– Coach Maurice says about two hours before game he got notice that something could be happening. At 6:45 pm league conference call finished.

– There was no possible way that we could have Ladd leave our team and not sign him at end of year. We couldn’t survive that.”

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.
