Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice scrum

Coach Maurice – Status of Setoguchi (under the weather) and Kane (“not there yet, a deep cut).  Stringing some wins together, does he have the prescription?  Focus on other teams or focus on his team?  Talk about the Flames.  His practice style.  Assessment of draft picks.  Getting to know the players.  Concept of excellence.

Coach Quotes:

On putting wins together – “We gotta get to the point that we understand the game that we are going to play before the puck drops”.

On putting wins together cont –  “The 5-1 win didn’t tell you that I’m a good coach.  It told you that there was a lot of emotion, that we harnessed that emotion”.

On team’s focus on Flames – “We just won 5-1.  So right now in that room they are thinking we might win 7-1 next game and we have got to make sure as a staff that we do everything we possibly can to make sure that isn’t the mentality or we will lose”.

On his style in practice – “My voice is out of shape….I’ve been sucking Halls like nobody’s business”.

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.
