Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice pre-game scrum

Coach Maurice –  Does he have a home opener philosophy?  Based on the changes to playoffs do central divisions match-ups become more significant?  On importance of getting points early in the season.  What does Chris Thorburn bring to the 3rd line?  Did he notice a difference with the team on how they play on the road vs. home?  How do they get to Pekka Rinne?  Adding Byfuglien to the Wheeler/Scheifele line, do roles change?  Does he see chemistry between Wheeler and Byfuglien?  Working on players confidence.

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.
