Maurice takes responsibility for Jets' poor showing vs. Bruins

Paul Maurice knew who to blame following Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Boston Bruins.

"I got two jobs. One is to prepare my hockey team and the other is to run the bench, and that team wasn't prepared to play. That's on me," the Winnipeg Jets coach told reporters. "I'm not looking at that room. I'm looking at what I did to get this hockey club ready because it wasn't good enough for this league.

"I'm not in there reading them the riot act. I got to get my act here together because we weren't ready to play."

The Jets were largely outplayed for much of the game, finishing the night with just 12 shots on goal. Winnipeg goalie Michael Hutchinson faced 38 shots in the loss.

"There isn't a piece of that game that we were good at," Maurice said. "If we have to sit here today and get a silver lining, if you're going to be bad, you might as well be bad in all parts of your game, so then you have the hope that you can write that one off."

The Jets will have a quick shot at redemption on Sunday when they travel to Raleigh to take on the Carolina Hurricanes.
