Winnipeg Jets post Skills Competition audio

Following the Jets Skills Competition we spoke with a couple of Jets players.

Patrik Laine:  On what would have happened if he used Byfuglien’s stick.  On the difference in flex between his and stick.  On his accuracy shooting.  Does he ever really use a “big” slap shot in a game?  Getting to interact with the fans.  Did he think his hardest shot would hold up against Byfuglien?

Chris Thorburn:  Is it an event he looks forward to?  Is it a fan thing or a camaraderie with teammates?  On getting to relax in a public way?  Does he have a formula for his success?

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.
