Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice scrum from MTS IcePlex

Coach Maurice – Updates on Perreault/Stafford and Byfuglien/Postma playing forward.  What is he going to miss the most about Perreault?  Not a deep team at forward, where does this leave his team?  If Klingberg plays where would he see him playing?  Why call up Klingberg?  How comfortable is he with his team long term or is he expecting a move?  Is Hutchinson just maintenance?  Status of Matt Halischuk.  On the uniqueness of Dustin Byfuglien.  Thoughts on Washington and specifically Ovechkin.  Biggest challenge for a coach is getting a player to buy into the system?  Has he done the same thing in Winnipeg?  Team has done well this season overcoming injury, does that help dealing with this?  Has he noticed something different in Byfuglien this year?  Is there something special for a player who can understand that they can be a difference maker?

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.
