Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice scrum

Coach MauriceBlake Wheeler update.  Is he surprised that it is a little worse than initially thought?  Status of Andrew Ladd?  How close is Matt Halischuk?  Does the presence of Eric O’Dell mean he can move Byfuglien back to D?  Will he play tomorrow night?  Has the process changed for inserting an AHL guy into the spot usually reserved for an NHLer?  Unloading on the team during a TV timeout.  Did he previously use the media to call out a player?  What are the keys for going against the Blues?  What are the parts of Wheeler’s game that he misses?

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.
