I say we do nothing hockey related, re charge our batteries, and comeback with unbridled youthful optimism.

The kind of "youthful" optimism that comes from playing Bourque over Vesalainen, or...?

Likely nothing. Changing the coach feels like a desperate move, considering it won't change the makeup of the roster. The Jets have a player problem, our defence looks terrible and there's nothing we can do to change it. Byfuglien is handcuffing the team by sitting out.
No but I was at the mid point last season when the team was obviously having issues. Analytics were plummeting. Same talk as earlier this year. The team was getting better results than they deserved and were going to crash.
If you recall much of Jan/Feb/March was spent rumour mongering about issues in the locker room, alleged affairs etc. Something was wrong with the team. Same issues are apparent now only they have an AHL defense to boot. So the results are even worse.

I don't think they'll do anything of note. I'm more than ready for a new coach though.

He changed the systems in the off season. He changed them again this year. Both changes have made the team progressively worse.True, but the following year the wheels fell off with the same team and the same coach. What is the explanation for this? (rhetorical)
He also stuck with things that clearly weren't working, because they worked in 2017-18. That 2017-18 was too talented to fail, even when he tried to keep Kyle Connor off of it.

I think the getting to the WCF was as good as it gets with Maurice.
I think that season was the exclamation point on his coaching career as everybody was on the same page and we were pretty damned exciting to watch.
I just don’t think Paul can get anymore out of this particular group , you can’t go home again.
Last season we presumably a better group overall but still stumbled badly down the stretch.
This year appears to be heading in that direction.
I don’t hate Maurice but it’s time to make a complete change behind the bench.
I think Cheveldayoff gets 2 more seasons to fix this up by making a few changes up front.
I’m guessing we stand pat the remainder of this season which I’m guessing won’t sit well with some players which compounds a problem within the dressing room.
This week nothing happens the season plays out as is.

Yeah how did we not fire him two years ago when we were top of the Central, third in the league, and everyone on here was planning the parade.

Should be a coaching change. Maurice sure, but I'm more into getting rid of Huddy. Franchise has been substandard on the defensive side of things even with all the personnel changes.
Also, Chevy needs to come out this week and declare whether the team is a seller or not. Not expecting anything to happen though, we all know how passive he is until something splashes TSNs front page in a bad way for the team.

Yup time to stop blaming personnel and see if a different coach can get better results then what we have seen the last few years.

I can't recall a team firing a coach after making the conference finals. Has this happened before? Or is this just hyperbole?

Probably a pancake breakfast for all the father's and a catapult for Dustin byfuglien for keeping the Jets handcuffed.
Huddy can go as well but I would imagine he is doing as directed by Maurice. Changing the assistants won't change things defensively when the architect of the defensive scheme is still sitting in his chair.

Nothing but Maurice needed to go 6 months ago. Now hes calling out certain players but letting his coasting beloved vets off the hook.
You can almost guess what the issues were now last season, its quite obvious that lots of players likely are getting tired of the lack of accountability for certain vets. That would kill your room quick.. Paul and Blake being the 2 biggest problems imo. Its starting again.. Wheeler calling out the youth and Maurice doing the same but nothing towards 55 and 26s lack of caring

Honestly, for the first time since 2011 I feel fairly despondent over where this organization sits currently. I basically just don’t fully trust that Chevy is poised to make the kind of changes that are necessary to get things back on track.
Chevy should go out and get a number 2 or a number one defenseman. I can't see how he is handcuffed by Buff because wouldn't his salary go on long-term injured reserve?
