Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice pre-game scrum (Wild)

Coach Maurice pre-game in pre-season

Coach Maurice – Players getting ramped up for a pre-season game. Hard to stay engaged in the game when he is evaluating the prospects. What will he be looking for from his rookies/what makes it a successful pre-season game from the prospects? What is the appeal of the Burmistrov/Perreault/Ehlers line? How will he manage his goalies during pre-season? Injury talk. Could the Burmistrov/Perreault/Ehlers benefit facing off against other team’s 3rd lines? Was this (using a skill 3rd line) something he considered previously or is it a function of having talent? Talking about when it was “easier” to shut down the Jets. What is he hoping to see from Copp/Armia/Lemieux?

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.
