Is it time for Paul Maurice to go?

[CDN24]

I know they lost to the habs, but that's not so much Maurice's fault as it is the Chez Paree effect.

Is this a serious thread? Are we really wondering if the guy who's coaching a team sitting 3rd in the NHL right now should be let go?

 

[Sniperberg]

great about Jets' roster? I'm not

Well, they got Bufulin, Black Wheelie, Little Brian, Jebediah Laine, HC Ehlers, a Buick and Mark (among others).
Pretty decent line-up.

 

[AKAChip]

Can somebody please explain what is so great about Jets' roster? I'm not saying that it's bad but I don't get the hype.

I tend to agree with you. Lots of really good young talent and the top three defence are as good as any in the league but the bottom three defence and bottom six forwards outside of Roslovic are nothing special at best and terrible (Chiarot, Morrow, Myers) at worst.

-Elite top line

-An under performing 2nd line that is missing it's RW due to injury and it's LW due to whatever VooDoo is hitting him

-A fast, hard hitting 3rd line that is really good at shutting teams down and keeping the puck in the opposing teams zone

-A young, fast, and gritty 4th line that's started to gel

-A SOLID D-core that has a great mix of scoring ability, size, and speed

-A goalie who finished 2nd in Vezina voting last year.

It's a great mix to have. Having a guy like Perreault who can move up and down the lineup and play in any capacity also really really helps.

We are by no means perfect but the team is set up to win.

And Wheeler is a shadow of even his last year’s self.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Good teams can lose to bad teams. Happens all the time. It's how they adjust and move forward that really counts.

He no longer drives possession at even strength. The assists are there and the power play buoyes that but saying he’s the player he was last year is keeping your head in the sand.

I think he's been fine.

My comment was tongue in cheek. Obviously no sane individual would think the coach of a team in 3rd overall who are probably the class of the west needs to be fired. The chez paree effect was more common in the 70's. Google chez pare - it will make more sense.

 

[Thread The Needle]

I'm curious to see how many on HF legitimately believe they can coach in the NHL. There's A LOT of bitching about coaches.

TIL: ES points are the only part of hockey. Wheeler has 65 points in 54 games. He could hit 100 points.

I wouldn’t say we’re a bad team this year. We have a team that battles as hard as any in the league and probably the hottest goalie in the league ove last past 2+ months. You had a really bad game. I don’t think there’s much more to it.

 

[King Woodballs]

Sure fire him today.....
So if you did that who is available and better than him today?

 

[Rubi]

Huh??

Are people still calling the Habs bad lol

 

[Shakey Rustie]

He just coached his 1,500 NHL game earlier this week, give the man a break!

 

[I am toxic]

With a real coach they’d go 82-0 apparently.

My dog could've coached better than Maurice and gone 82-0.

And my dog was a bichon.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Poor choice of words on my part.

 

[BLNY]

They didn't have an answer for the speed. It's what cost them against VGK imo. I don't think that means Paul has to go though. The Jets are an excellent team, and he's part of it.

 

[Hockeyholic]

He won't go out of his way to lose a team a series. But he won't exactly win a series with his coaching either. He's an average coach.

 

[Perratrooper]

Didn't they go to the Western Conference Finals and just happen to run into one of the best playoff goaltending appearances in recent memory...?

 

[SjMilhouse]

Honestly, I never understood the level of hype around Winnipeg last year. They are a top team in the league for sure, but I think some of the media had them in the same light as Tampa. Honestly seems like a team who played a little over their heads last year and have come back down to earth a bit with some key injuries/slumps

Huh, you're saying coaches don't only stand at the bench, yell at the refs and sometimes mix lines?

Impossible.

There's also gum chewing I believe.
