{allcanada} JETS' NOEL: PAVELEC CUP-WORTHY GOALIE

Jets coach Claude Noel tells The Winnipeg Sun he's seen a marked improvement in Ondrej Pavelec's game from last season to this season.

"How I look at it is he's still a fairly young player (25), not young, young but he's still in a good part of his career and look at him from one year to another that there's been growth and I see that," said Noel. "For me, the ceiling isn't there. For me, you still have room to go. That's what encourages me.

"If you ask me, is he doing his part? I'd say over and above, he's doing his part. That's what I would say. I'm a big fan. I like him."

Noel didn't stop there.

"If you ask me today, if the Winnipeg Jets could win a championship with him in nets, I would say yes," said Noel. "That's what I would say. That's my opinion."
