1-7 to start the year is not good, though they've had a ton of injuries. Feels like they could use some veteran leadership in the room to help reverse this demoralizing series of losses -- looking at you, Borque, Bitetto and Sbisa...

Game results don't matter. What's important is that our prospects are being developed.

They could maybe use a different head coach too and since Maurice is already in the organization . . .

I see what you did there.Vincent coaches the Moose the way Maurice tells him to so ........

It was a demote-Maurice comment but I see and agree with your point also.

Yeah, I got that. Pretty good actually.
But blaming Vincent for the Moose record doesn't stand up. Injuries and Maurice's guiding hand have handicapped him.
Would Vincent be ruled out as a candidate for Mau's job as a result? Maybe, but does that make sense? If Vincent could have been seen as a viable option 8 games ago, it shouldn't have changed.

I'm not familiar enough with Vincent to say he should be fired (although I might say it at some point anyway) or promoted (which I would agree with at least temporarily as it would mean the end of Maurice).

If Maurice goes in-season I would be in favour of giving Vincent the interim job. Find out if he is HC material or not. That is depending on what other candidates happen to be available at the time.
It's almost as though people think that players don't matter in team performance. The D has been decimated across the organization, and that's not really something the coaches can ameliorate easily.

Niku will likely switch to a regular jersey tomorrow.
Luoto is a character.

OK, I want one of our Finns to tell me what he said before switching to English. Please and thank you.

What is wrong with the Manitoba Moose? They seem to be regressing every year since Pascal Vincent took over. I seriously question if he is going to be relieved of his duties and a new coach replaces him. This is a team that only has Logan Shaw up with the Jets. Kristian Vesalainen must be choked as his North American career has been an incredible bust. He has 2 assists this year in 8 games. I haven't seen any games this year and would appreciate some details as to what is going on with the AHL club.
Aren't they running similar systems to the Jets? And defensive injuries have left them pretty thin (no Niku, I think Green is hurt, plus the Jets have a few callups with Buff out and Beaulieu injured).
What's going on with Comrie? Are the Coyotes just going to carry 3 goalies all year? I'd expect him back as soon as he's waived.
How is Heinola on the 2nd pairing? He needs all the opportunities as he’s our brightest prospect right now.
Niku should get called up once he's worked off the rust. Then Heinola can slide up.

Niku tends to prefer the right side, does he not play in the A on the right side as well?
Heinola - Niku top pairing would be interesting...

Smart approach to allow him to heal properly. Hasn't played since the 11th.
And for those asking Niku prefers to play the right side.

Jets prospects play, Moose players sit, is how it should work.
