Pretty sure those 28 other teams wish they were ahead of that expansion team.
But they're not! They're behind the Jets.
Back to the thread: I liked Maurice during the first year, and the playoff year. Some impressive results. Was a bit unsure of what the plan was in the intervening years, but by plan and some luck, they've got quite a roster amassed, and Maurice (as Guerzy mentioned earlier) seems to have re-evaluated certain things, and has them not only collecting points and outscoring most teams (2nd in the league in goals potted), but he also turned around their fancy stats. They're a dominant team on boxcars AND on basic shot differential stats, so much so that the stats community is going WTF.
Figured both would get some sort of extension (lame duck, whether it's a real thing or not), but was wary. Our start was scary, but that quickly turned around. I worried about the sustainability, but that changed for me with the changing metrics.
I'm cool with him at the helm at this point. Still some things to improve, but I think he might be able to make an old dog learn new tricks - the old dog being himself, since he's already done it in most areas that count already this year.
As for Chevy: I bought into the mantra of draft and develop, and for the most part that's what he's done. He's occasionally splurged on players to prop up the roster enough to make them interesting to watch, or at the TD when they were likely playoff bound. Now? Freakin' embarrassing of riches - I thought this going into the season, so my opinion in that regard hasn't changed. I like what he's done, full stop.
