Coach Maurice: On the group being in good spirits. What were they trying to accomplish with today’s practice? On the confidence his group is feeling right now. On the maturity of Patrik Laine’s game. Does he need a pep talk when he isn’t scoring? How has Mark Scheifele handled the addition of Laine to the line? Was there any fear when he removed Wheeler from Scheifele’s line? Assessing Wheeler in the middle. How has Nathan Beaulieu handled making up for lost time? Why has it been a good fit for Nathan Beaulieu with the Jets?

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.
