Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice scrum from MTS IcePlex

Coach MauriceInitial thoughts on Trade deadline day.  His thoughts on Scheifele (“not going to be any surgery required”).  What is the official diagnosis?  (MCL Sprain).  What type of hole does that leave in this lineup?  Will they look to bring someone up for tomorrow’s game?  If things remain status quo what ripple effect does Scheifele injury have on team?  Update on Thorburn (“day to day, questionable for tomorrow”).  How do you manage the emotion of the team when you lose an important player like Scheifele?  Had a similar scenario like this before in his career?  How can his leadership help team get over a game like last night.  Time line on Scheifele’s injury?  Thoughts on Halischuk’s first game back.

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.
