Coach Maurice: Did he get done what they wanted to in today’s practice? Is he acclimatized back to Winnipeg? How does he approach the next three or four days? How difficult was it for player’s who didn’t adjust to being in Finland? How would he rate the experience of being part of the Global Series? His thoughts on Laine’s performance in Finland? Was going to Finland weighing on Laine? On Laine dealing with the pressure/distractions but comes up big. On trying to smuggle Laine’s family back. Status of Brendan Lemieux? How did he think Petan handled himself on Friday? Is there a temptation to move Laine to the top six?
Up next:
The Jets are off on Monday.
