Is it time for Paul Maurice to go?

[easton117]

Arent they like 4th in the nhl?

I dunno. I listened to him on tsn radio the other day and he seems really in tune with today’s players. I remember him when he first came in to the league. He’s mellowed a lot.

No coach lasts forever. But if he keeps going to the semis and they don’t fall off a cliff anytime soon why the hell would you get rid of him!?!

 

[kladorf2005]

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

98-0. You forgot about the next 16 wins for the

The Jets are 4th overall, Maurice isn't the best coach in the world but he's still a good coach. I think the Jets are happy with him.

 

[Hunter368]

Wait......the coach who lead his team to top 4 finish last year and currently is 3rd overall in the entire NHL while the team has suffered significant injuries to their 1D and top 6 winger along with others......your complaining about 3rd OA in the NHL?

Oh brother.......

So many underachieving teams out there and OP complains about the 3rd OA team. Yikes

 

[tntkid]

Chevy is not getting rid of Maurice anytime soon.

 

[moosehead81]

This thread must be a joke- gonna seriously consider firing a coach with the 3rd place team in the league after 54 games and a 6-3-1 record over the last ten with injuries to key personnel? I mean the Leafs are 5th with a 5-4-1 record with little or no current injuries so should Babcock be fired? Give your heads a shake gentlemen. Maybe they should bring back Claude Noel.

 

[winnipegger]

Morrisey is the best defenseman and he's out right now. Buff just returned. Jets probably add a center at the deadline. Laine can't hit the net for whatever reason. No need to panic team will heat up down the stretch.

 

[BlueDream]

It won’t happen, but I’ve never been impressed by him at all.

 

[moosehead81]

Yeesh, imagine that roster in the hands of Quenneville.

Yes since Quenneville left, the Hawks have put themselves into position to challenge for a wild-card. That's how good he was.

 

[holy]

Damn, your team gets slapped by the Habs once and it's time to fire your coach on the main board. Can't wait for the Babcock threads tomorrow night.

 

[sufferer]

Yes since Quenneville left, the Hawks have put themselves into position to challenge for a wild-card. That's how good he was.

Chicago... and about 8 other teams. It's not like he's won with quality veteran rosters in the past, right?

 

[Peggy]

Roster isn’t as good as most thinkbut it’s made worse by Maurice running two checking lines for some insane reason. No team will fire a coach coming off a WSF and currently in first place in their division but Maurice is a bad coach who will be fired eventually when the wins and losses start to match the underlying numbers.

Yes it is

There's like 9 players on that team maurice could put in the top 6

 

[Duke749]

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...?

Say that on the Jets board and watch what happens.

 

[LowLefty]

If you ask most Laine fans, they'll personally drive Maurice to the airport (or just push him off a cliff).

Correct - but Jets fans don't have an issue with him

 

[Whiston532]

I realize that the two teams are completely different, but as an Oiler fan I feel pretty aware that changing a coach doesn’t magically make a team better.

 

[Duke749]

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

Scheifele missed 22 games last year. Trouba missed 27 games. Buff missed 13 games. Perreault missed 12 games. Don’t think the man games lost is all that different. We’re also on a very similar pace to last year.

 

[Perratrooper]

That bad over there haha?

 

[Duke749]

That bad over there haha?

It’s not everyone obviously but there is enough of a loud minority(only slightly) that it gets pretty rough.

 

[crowi]

He is by no means perfect, but definitely not a bad coach. Compare him to Carlyle...

 

[Daximus]

Hottest of hot takes from a Habs fan about another teams coach.

 

[Peggy]

By far the tallest and heaviest roster in the NHL. Mixed in with their skill and you have a tantilizing blend of size and skill built for the rugged playoffs.

And they can play a fast game if they want. Ehlers is one of the fastest skaters in the league
They have a lot of variety
With speed like ehlers and connor
Size with scheifele, wheeler, buff and Lowry
A big hitter like buff
And a shot like laine(unfortunately it hasn't been up to par)
They have a well balanced team with a mix of everything

 

[Peggy]

If you think his play is even a fraction of what it was a season ago, I'm happy for you.

You're not even a jets fan. Are you watching every game or something?lol

Because they're not getting passed the conference finals?

If they lose again before the cup he should be let go. Wasting valuable prime time with this squad

I am a Jets fan? Being critical of a team does not equal not being a fan. Nice try, though.

"They aren't that good""wheeler's not even a fraction of what he used to be"

There's a difference from being critical and being a liar
