Yes, I know some players in Portland where happy he was let go and replaced
with the old coach Mike Johnston. I heard that some players weren't happy
with the system he was playing with against Everett in the playoffs.

Happy thoughts
I don't know anything about this guy but what posters have said about him, but he should have lots to work with on the PP a far as skills guys like Laine, Buff, Schief,....etc.
I would figure the PK would be simple to fix...stop taking so many stupid penalties, that would do wonders. I'm willing to cross my fingers and hope for this to be a positive change.

Assuming they go with 4 forwards and 1 D on the PP
PP #1 - Scheif, Wheeler, Ehlers, Laine & Buff
PP #2 - Little, Connor, Perrault, "?" + Myers
I think "?" can be Petan (if he's with the Jets), Stafford, Trouba, Enstrom, Armia or Dano
The bad Jets PP's were too slow in puck movement to create the high % chances which led to endless perimeter work or rushed shots that often cleared the zone.
Hopefully a fresh look will improve things.
But if Laine improves things as much as we think he will... then how much credit does the coaching get?

Coach plays Stu more than any other D on the PK, and he is the worst Pk defenseman in the NHL. The PK was better late last year when Stu was out.
The way I look at it it's a blank slate. I don't believe that the Jets special teams can get any worse than what we've seen the past few years.
Maybe he'll prove me wrong
but until then I welcome the change.
I am hoping to see some more creativity, movement, and a different look for both units.

He has got to be an improvement on pp. His last 5 years in Nhl his team's showed consistent improvement on powerplay. Something the jets desperately need.

Hopefully this guy can improve our stagnant special teams but by some of the concerns expressed in this thread I'm a bit worried.
We could have hired God as an assistant coach and someone here would still say he was the worst coach ever.

Well, he probably is a bit "old school" and relies too much on experience and his "eye test" rather than stats.

Who? Fans? Hf boards? Coach came out and said that? Or gm said it? Who are the people that were happy and where is this from?
Hope we aren't just going to be shooting from the point all the time again.
"In Los Angeles, when Terry Murray was coaching before Darryl, we had this study that showed 78 percent of power play goals are generated from the point, pounding the puck on net. The power play is like any other aspect of hockey. You have to have the parts, but you have to execute too. Those pretty passing plays that result in highlight power play goals you see replayed on SportsCenter and TSN are nice to watch, but how many of them are there? I believe the puck has to get to the net, and when you have success, it is contagious. It lifts the team at even strength, and it keeps the other team on eggshells. If you produce on the power play, the opposition is more careful about taking penalties."

Worst
I think he was the worst PK player of any position. The why he was played may explain Maurice's pathetic carrier Special Teams coaching record.

Yes, because a handful of millennials with a sense of entitlement should always dictate how things are run.

That's right the 31st team doesn't start playing for another year. The worse we can do is tie our 30th spot again this year.

Well Enstrom wouldn't shoot if you held a gun to his loved ones heads. My list was more what I thought would be the line up. I'm all for giving Trouba some PP time instead. But I will say that Myers does have the unique ability to keep in some pucks with that ridiculous reach that no one else would ever get. Every once in a while he does his "condor swoop" to the net with the puck... that's always fun.

I'll take your word for it, but I'm not seeing anything to dislike based on the numbers. Coached an average to above average PP with the Kings (save for 2010-11, when they were well below average), and that includes a couple of seasons where the Kings had terrible talent on their roster. Took over a Hawks PP that was terrible in 2011-12, and appeared to yield improved results.
Why take his word for it? I would like to see HC provide some statistical evidence to support his "hot garbage" claim.
You couldn't be more wrong. These kids are working hard to someday play
in the NHL . You honestly think they walk around entitled?
By the way kids don't fire the Coach\GM. Someone higher up dictated that he
was let go.

Yes, I do think some walk around with a sense of entitlement. Patrick Kane, Evander Kane, Ryan Johansen, PK Subban, take your pick of the self-centered *******s in the league of late, they are all considered millennials.
As for the Portland situation, that was just my comment that I wouldn't give a **** what these twerps thought of him as a coach.

Actually, God is too busy making sure that professional football players score a touchdown to have the time for any NHL coaching job.
