Coach Maurice – Assessment of the game. On his rookies. Keeping his team’s focus. Using Buff on the penalty kill. Watching Buff’s minutes? Talk about the refs.

Coach Quotes:

On Scheifele – “I liked the way Scheifele scored that goal. I think he probably took two hits before he scored the goal”.

On Trouba – “I think with Jacob Trouba he is going to continually refine that game where you won’t see him jumping in every time, but he will jump in at the right times, kinda the Lidstrom factor. Make 90% of your game a 10 foot pass and the last 10% is what will make you great”.

On the rookies maturity – “There’s not a kiddie section in our locker room and we feed them. They are just one of the guys for me”.

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.
