(POLL) What Do The Jets Do on The All Star Break

[Jet]

We all know that Patty's going golfing, but what does the Jets organization do on the 8 day break?

Feel free to add context to your opinion in this thread

I voted they do nothing, but I think that’s completely the wrong decision. I think PoMo needs to go; I don’t have the hate for him that others around here have (I understand the D-core Chevy gave him this year is worse than useless) but he’s had long enough and a new voice in the dressing would be a good thing.

 

[buggs]

Do nothing.

Buff situation continues to handcuff the organization so any sort of trade would be minor.

Firing Maurice would be satisfying (I'm pissed at him for calling out Ehlers last night) though I don't think it does anything particularly for the organization. Plus TNSE is too loyal and I think they'll opt to not renew his contract instead. Best case scenario is they do fire Maurice but they'll likely just slide Kompon up and we don't get a dead cat bounce anyway. Season is done.

Buff's details will likely never come out. He'll either come back or he won't and that will be the decider in the arbitration. If he can play, he gets paid. If he can't the Jets don't pay and he retires anyway. But nothing will happen on the break.

Worst case scenario is they trade Ehlers for a D-man which would be foolish.

While the defense isn't great I think a new voice in the room is needed. The team seems largely stale now and I don't think the players are as engaged and receptive to Moe's messaging.

• Also don't believe the correct system is being employed
• Forwards aren't buying in defensively
• Maurice has started calling out players but only certain ones

I would also like to see a deal but I doubt one happens until the Buff situation is resolved.

I answered Fire The Coach and Do Nothing. The former is what I want them to do, while the latter is what I expect them to do.

 

[KCjetsfan]

They didn't treat this as a mini rebuild season from the start (like they should have) by focusing on playing younger players etc, so I don't see them changing course now. Season's been lost for a while (imo), and at this point I don't think there's much to be done to redeem it. Yes Maurice should be (and should have been a while ago) let go, but they've let him go this long, if they're gonna dump him it'll just be by not renewing the contract. I don't think they'll be active now, or at TDL.

Do nothing. But they should be taking stock of the situation and create a plan (if one doesn’t exist already) at a GM/Ownership level if this poor performance continues. They should create a short term plan (possible hire Pascal Vincent as interm coach) and long term plan for this summer (create a initial coach list possibly including Pascal). Plus start looking at possible hockey trades to improve the team and looking at possible FA top 4 D.

 

[PhilJets]

Have this group gone on a team building together besides the usual routines ?

 

[jetswin]

Do nothing....I don't agree with this approach but it is what I expect.

The question was 'what WILL they do' not 'what do you WANT them to do'

They should spend all 8 days working on understanding basic D zone coverage.

 

[Channelcat]

How do you not make a coaching change? But then again how do you not make a coaching change 2 years ago

 

[Adam da bomb]

They should spend all 8 days working on understanding basic D zone coverage.

Tough to do when Laine has announced to the world I’m going golfing.

 

[Fire Chevy]

They should spend all 8 days working on understanding basic D zone coverage.

If it’s Maurice D zone system it ain't happening in 8 days

 

[Channelcat]

They should spend all 8 days working on understanding basic D zone coverage.

Pfft ya. There's 30 teams in the NHL that clog the neutral/d zone, 1 that lets you cruise through. Massive problem here. Our d looks like shit cuz there is always 4 guys closing on them. Maurice is still living in the 80s.

 

[Jets 31]

The only thing i think will happen , MAYBE , is a update on Buff and Little .

 

[cbcwpg]

Next 8 days using lots of this...

 

[Jet]

2 years ago as in the year we had 114 points - good for 2nd in the league overall?

I'm all for making a change now - but that team was special and coaching was part of that magnificent season, the best for any NHL team in Winnipeg.

And then perplexingly went away from the heavy, fast attacking style of game that other teams feared. Every game we heard comments about how big and skilled the Jets were.

 

[kanadalainen]

What the TSNE will do is:

(drum roll, please...)



Nothing.

 

[Guardian17]

Do nothing.

A new coach will still have to play Bitteto, Sbisa et al.

A big trade involving one of our top six forwards for a top pairing d-man is more likely accomplished in the off-season.

Wait for the Byfuglien situation to be resolved.

 

[jetsforever]

I expect they'll do nothing, but these 8 days would be a great time to interview potential coaching candidates.

 

[SUX2BU]

Find themselves .........

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Oops. In that case, count Fire The Coach as one less vote.

 

[JetsCameHome]

Do nothing... what motivation do they have to do anything. And if they fire any of the GM or coach I wont be surprised to see any TNSE shill instated.
