Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice pre-game press conference

Coach MauriceInserting four young prospects (Lowry, Petan, Ehlers and Morrissey) into this game.  Happier with Morrissey’s game in Game 1 than in Penticton.  Thoughts on Grant Clitsome.  Does he expect to see Danny Taylor in the game tnt?  What does he look for from the Kane/Scheifele/Wheeler line?  Has he noticed the maturation of Evander Kane?  Could he be the best player?  Is the team taking the next step needing Kane to do similarly?  Ehlers in the middle?  How many games does it take to know if a prospect is NHL ready.  Does he put any stock in winning/losing in the pre-season.

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.
