Coaches will always be critisized when the team is performing worse than is expected from them. The Pens and the Hawks have had several pretty bad games already at the start of this season, so their coaches decisions should be at least questioned. But those coaches have exactly done very nice and interesting experiments that have already started to pay some rewards. Just as examples, giving good chances for success for young players like DeBrincat, Hartman, Guentzel and Murray. At the same time Maurice lets his promising youngsters for in the AHL and gives them any chances in the NHL team only if some injuries occur and chooses to play two lines of plugs even more than his most promising youngsters, whom he decided to throw into the the deep end of the pool by themselves before they have learned to swim.
Just disgusting and conservative coaching that I immensely despise. The complete opposite from Jukka Jalonen (Jokerit coach at the moment, and former two time world championships winning coach, whom will thank God start again as the Finnish national team coach next year), whom is the ideal type of coach for any team that has you T and very talented players. But coaches like Maurice are like a cancer and plague at the same time for the kind of talented roster that the Jets have.
Say what you say about having pretty good win record this season. I say that I has come completely despite Maurice being the coach. If they had a real good coach, they would be even clearly better in the standings, and the youngsters would also be flourishing compared to the struggling that they are doing because of Maurice pulling the rug constantly under them.
Jeesh, I’m so frustrated with this coach, and all of you who really seem to believe that he is a good coach.
