Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice pre-game scrum

Coach Maurice – Thoughts on the new guys.  How are they fitting into the room/system?  Is the team back to the grinding style of play?  Keys to jumping on a road weary Oilers team?  What goes into the timing of reuniting Wheeler/Scheifele?  Why go back with Hutchinson?  Has he noticed a difference in Wheeler’s game at home vs on the road?  Importance of first win after trade as well as both new players having an impact?  Would he like to see one of the goalies take the reins?

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.
