“There was no f—ng slow start. We played as good in the first as we did in the second as we did in the third. That team played its asses off tonight.

“Listen, I haven’t liked some of the games we played but that team played as hard as it could. I got no beef on the effort, the other team played well too.”

-Paul Maurice, head coach of the Winnipeg Jets after a 4-1 loss to Carolina. Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun has more on the Jets, who have lost 5 of their last 6 games.
