Hear from John Albert aka Pure NRG (© ICdave) as he met with media in advance of his first NHL game.

John Albert – What have the last 24 hours been like?  Who did he call first?  How did he find out?  What has he done in St. John’s that got him rewarded with a call-up.  Nice place to make a debut!  First time in NY?  Thought about his first shift?  Did he think that this day would come this season?  What does it mean to come back from the injury?  What’s his style of play?  Signing contract with Winnipeg.  Zinger in his corner.  What did coaching staff tell him this morning?  Systems different between IceCaps and Jets?  Know his linemates at all?  How did his folks react to the news?

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.
