Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice scrum on Day 9 of Training Camp

Topics: What are some things he cannot learn about the opposing coach in a pre-scout that he will have to “learn on the fly”?  Impact coaching has on a series.  Will coaches have to be more adaptable these playoffs?  How has Kyle Connor become an elite goal scorer in the NHL?  Where does he see his team is at right now? Does he need to impart any more urgency to the team because of the nature of the need to “win now”.  Is Nikolaj Ehlers in a better position now to contribute in the playoffs?  What does he like about Nick Shore’s game and what the 4th line brings? Did he have a conversation with Ehlers about style of play coming into the season?  Did he see the right “style of play” from Ehlers this season?

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.
