Expect the worst, you’ll never be disappointed.
I just don’t understand how they have been here for so long.

I’ve heard certain reasons for Flaherty. Huddy I really don’t know. Guy was never good to begin with.

Another article which points the finger mostly where it belongs: Jets’ season, lost in April, began spiraling downward months earlier

If Chevy won't fire Maurice then both need to go! Really don't get how anyone can say this season was more successful than the 15-16 season where poor goaltending let them down in the PO's against the Ducks.

"Scheifele and Wheeler still commanded big minutes because of their trustworthiness in all situations". Seriously?

Cooper just signed an extension prior to the playoffs. He isn't going anywhere. I could see Laviolette becoming available if the Preds lose in the first round.

Good find Pucka, like this part as well:
Coaching decisions, too, made for some perplexing times in Winnipeg.
Paul Maurice refused to break up Scheifele and Wheeler in an effort to spread out the depth and scoring. He broke up Winnipeg’s top possession line, however, in an attempt to do what he wouldn’t do with his top-line duo.
With Byfuglien and Morrissey both inactive, Maurice didn’t try Sami Niku as an anchor on the power play.
When Morrissey returned for the playoffs, the decision was made to keep Dmitry Kulikov in over Nathan Beaulieu, a trade deadline deal that worked very well for the Jets as the former Buffalo Sabres product jumped right into the top pairing with Jacob Trouba and earned his keep.
Kulikov’s familiarity with Tyler Myers came first and Beaulieu sat. Maurice placed his trust in players that, according to the analytics, shouldn’t have been trusted in the situations they put in.
In many ways, this stubbornness to even move pieces around to see if they fit played a factor in the downfall. Giving Matt Hendricks games down the stretch made little sense unless you buy into the “heavy” game mantra that the Western Conference presents. But Hendricks was nowhere to be found in a “heavy” series against St. Louis, so why play him at all when a player like Jack Roslovic — who played in all five playoff games — could have benefitted with more ice-time down the stretch?
Holes in the team’s defensive structure could be a post in and of itself. Simply, the Jets weren’t the same defensive team from the year previous, falling 10 spots from the fifth fewest goals allowed to 15th.
This leads to the question of if Maurice’s job is in jeopardy.

Beyak is one the mouth pieces for the Jets, once he starts along this line of thought it is usually telling what the Jets r thinking. JETS TV was also not blaming MO for much. Chippy probably has a pretty big say in what Chevy does at coach.

Beyak got too friendly with Maurice and Chevy to even offer a sliver of objectivity (the same goes for almost all the Winnipeg media, and we saw what happened when Friesen dared to cross the Jets/TNSE thin blue line, in the NFL a player would have been fined for that outburst that Wheeler stupidly uttered)

Would love for the Oilers to pick up the Jets clueless coaching trifecta of Maurice, Huddy and Flaherty when they get let go.....

Jets season in a nutshell
So they just became a bottom 5 team after January 1st. That’s amazing.
I kinda agree, something has to change after all these expectations were never met. If they believe Mo did a good job then maybe it was Chevy that gave him the wrong tools, something has to give.....for me though firing Chevy would be the stupid way to go about all of this.
All great points. Maurice is too stubborn to make any significant change. In his mind, the veterans are less risky - despite the supporting stats which show they're bad. He seems to have a complete inability to accurately assess talent, and favours the outdated dump and chase game style players.
With the progress Niku was showing this season it would have been good to see him get some time playing with Buff. Beaulieu should have gone in for Kulikov too. Both players make our D significantly more mobile

Last year we had injuries.
This year every team had injuries.
This year every team had to travel.
Enough already.
post last years and mark when they lost Scheifele, Trouba, Enstrom, Perreault, Tanev, Lowry and Buff for extended times now
