Illegal Curve Hockey

Winnipeg Jets pre-game audio

Ladd and Little at practice

Andrew Ladd – What’s feeling today? Enough experience to set a proper tone? Are players aware of potential consequences to coach Noel? At times like this does he speak up more in the room? Motivation. What motivates him to face Capitals?

Mark Scheifele – Did dressing room get Claude’s message? Directing energies in right way. Difficult going from a top team in OHL to a struggling squad in the NHL? Is he feeling pressure to get points? Found it challenging to play with a variety of players? The leadership on the Jets. More important to be a leader on ice than in room?

Zach Bogosian – Feeling alright? Clearing the air. Pressure to turn things around nine games into the season? Is there enough accountability in the room? Motivation. Facing the Capitals. Ovechkin talk.

Chris Thorburn – How close is he? First day back skating with the group? Tough to be away from the group? Bringing a positive attitude.

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.
