Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice scrum

Coach Maurice – Opportunity of playing first four on road and chance to bring team together.  What sort of words will he have for his rookies before they play their first game?  What are the adjustments that the young players need to make to have success long term?  Do the veterans need to “pick up the slack” to shield the rookies?  On the team playing defence as a five man unit?  Does Ladd’s contract status handicap him as a coach?  What role does he see for Raffl in the organization?

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.
