Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice scrum (Anaheim)

Coach Maurice – Needing his best players to be the best players on the ice.  Doesn’t see a need for his best players to “step it up”?  Discussion on the chair he is sitting in.  Any update on Perreault?  Can the level of physicality be maintained and is that to the Jets benefit?  At what point did he realize that the bench was standing around and looking?  On the improvement in Pavelec’s play.  What is the biggest thing the guys who played in their first playoff game last night take into game 2?  Did anything stand out from the tape?  On the play of Ducks d-man Vatanen.  The save Anderson made on Thorburn, is that where the game turned?  On the play of Jacob Trouba.  Is he as a coach happy to move past the first game “newness” for players and franchise and now getting into the series.  Is he seeing the proper type of bounce back from a loss?  Is he considering any lineup changes for game 2?

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.
