Whiteout Is Coming.
Perfect so now when the Jets lose ... we can say "we got Mauricron" instead of goalied.

A pint of dark matter, please.

... and when he's upped for another 3, with a "well deserved" raise, we can justly rage about having once again been Mauriconned. Alas.
Murat with a good article about Scheifeme and Maurice today. Seems to think that Marucie hasn't done a good enough job holding Mark accountable for his poor defense and that if he can't get Scheifele going a new coach should come in.
ScheifeME? Not sure if that’s intentional, but golly gosh is it appropriate.

Haha, finally aurocorrect makes an appropriate adjustment lol

That was a great piece. Most of Murat's stuff is top notch, but this one is A++.
It's his best piece in a long time imo. Back to asking the hard questions on players and coaching. That hasn't been in his repertoire in a while.
Yep. Interesting and surprisingly even-handed take on 55, his usage under PoMo and what happens next from Murat in The Athletic. Some excerpts below:
It's time to ask about Mark Scheifele's ceiling as the Jets' franchise player
If Winnipeg were as gutted down the middle as it was without Dubois or Paul Stastny in the fold — or before Copp emerged as an option along with defensive stalwart Adam Lowry — Scheifele’s ice time would make more sense.
If he was “straight legged” on Tuesday against Buffalo, then perhaps Maurice would be better served to play him fewer than 25 minutes on a night Dubois played just 19.
A 42-second shift on a late-game PK contributes to that discrepancy without nearly covering the difference.
This season, Scheifele has averaged two more minutes per night at five-on-five than Dubois has. (Despite this disadvantage, Dubois has four more five-on-five points than Scheifele does.) Maurice continues to play him despite poor results; I don’t like citing raw plus-minus because it includes empty net and shorthanded goals along with five-on-five but Scheifele’s minus-four is worst on the Jets.
Do you remember Maurice saying he has a higher opinion of Scheifele than Scheifele does?
“I think he has (the potential) to be a one-team player that wins Cups and is the captain of it at some point and gets a bronze statue in front of the building kind of guy,” Maurice said in 2018.
I find myself wondering — after Scheifele was high in the zone against Buffalo, swung his stick against Vancouver, shorted a backcheck against Seattle and abandoned the net front for a scoring chance against Arizona and goal against Minnesota (the list goes on) — if Maurice himself hasn’t doomed Scheifele to fall short of those goals through his words.

Contrary to wide opinion here......Maurice actually has some systems in place.
They are just so subtle.....that no one can actually see them.....

As I said in reply to that tweet, did Scheifele get this charley horse in the Vegas playoff series in 2018? Cause that's the last time I recall him giving a rat's ass about defense...
Good question -- and my medical opinion is yes. Certainly.
Charley horses for high-scoring centres typically present as pain, swelling and extravasated blood, and we'd expect such injuries to typically impact exclusively those areas of the hockeying regions that are responsible for even average defence. You're going to see dramatic losses in responsible positioning, backchecking, taking your man in front of an open net, reasonable shift lengths and not dreamily waving your stick at an attacker as he sails right on by.
Standard treatment options include unlimited ice-time, extravagant praise from coaches and both localized and generalized immunity from criticism or accountability, presumptive Olympic team selection and -- only in severe cases -- bronze statues mounted outside downtown arenas.

The followup question to that needs to be questioning Maurice on his ice time then- Scheifele has played under 19 mins in just 1 game all season- the blowout against Minny which was over in the first 10 mins of the 2nd period.
If he's playing injured, then why is he playing 19 mins+ every night? Can't have it both ways, either the player is playing poorly or he has an injury preventing him from playing well in which case it's a bad look on you playing an injured player 19+ mins each night.
It's one or the other, can't have it both ways.
Meh. If you're gonna bravely play through and injury, you're gonna do it for 19+ minutes a night. Otherwise what are you teaching your teammates about the value of personal sacrifice? There's a "me" in tEaM for a reason, folks.

I get what Mo is trying to do... he is trying to get the heat of off 55 and instead put the heat on himself. He probably read that Murat article this morning and is sensing that with Wheeler no longer there to take all the arrows, some arrows are gonna hit 55 who has escaped a lot of criticism due to all the energy of the critics being directed at 26. But they still need to ask followup questions.
Ah so the injury excuse being used now. That doesn't prevent a player from actually working hard on the ice both ways.
Also Moe you look even more stupid playing an injured player 25 minutes a night.
This guy juat can't stop making dumb excuses and no one is buying them any longer.
Lmao on trying to justify playing Ehlers only 17 minutes a night due to trying to optimize his play and then go ahead and play a gassed 36 year old 20 plus minutes a night...

Yeah, that part was from a previous season when I think Maurice was asked why Ehlers was never elevated up the lineup despite leading the team in scoring.
His words are painting a different picture than his actions. It isn't the first time.
maurice will always fall on the sword for his leaders and rarely calls guys out (remember how much he backed bealieu through the media when he was drowning on the top pair). i can see why they enjoy playing for him.
I actually half wonder if Maurice is sort of throwing shade at Scheifele here to get him to shape up.

I bet Scheifele flourishes under new coaching.
Hell the whole team will.
