Love it, the revisionist approach to those selling the snake oil that we lost because of coaching, the hypocrisy coupled with sheer ignorance is comically annoying.
Previously, Gerard Gallant was being hailed as an amazing coach, one that out coached, out classed and out maneuvered our apparent incompetent coach, in Maurice.
Today, Gallant is being hailed as an average coach, one that is being out coached, out classed and out maneuvered by the new best coach ever in Barry Trotz.
Of course Barry's track record as a head coach is very similar to Maurice's, and some would argue that he has had much better rosters through his coaching career, but lets not let some facts step in the way of a good false narrative.
Truthfully though, the names of the coaches do not matter to these posters, the names are interchangeable.
Had we lost to Nashville, then Peter Laviolette would be the amazing coach that outclassed Maurice, or had we lost to the Wild, then they would be telling us that Bruce Boudreau is miles better than Maurice.
Basically the nuts and bolts of their argument was to wait for the team to lose a playoff series, and seeing as only 1 team wins a cup, the odd were good that we would lose that series eventually, then take the coach of the team that beat us, proclaim their brilliance, and somehow declare Maurice's incompetence.
The reason their argument becomes transparent is because they refuse to acknowledge any positives that were achieved by this team, and relate it to coaching. Nope, they tell us that anything positive this team accomplished was 100% because of our talented roster, and anything that did not work out was because of coaching.
This is why many of us are tired of reading their ignorant dribble, its fact less finger pointing void of any intelligent inside analyses. Jetsinflorida keeps spewing that we were a 1/2 step slower, and that was because Maurice game planned us to play slower. When asked if a 5 days rest for the Knights, compared to 1 days rest for the Jets, would contribute to that 1/2 step, we get silence from him, because he knows he cannot intelligently support the notion that days rest would not contribute to being a 1/2 step behind.
There is zero logic to their take. Throughout the entire season, back to last season, and the one before, the same couple of posters have been trying to hardest to pin anything negative on the feet of Maurice and Chevy. Now that Chevy is being proven as a top end GM, their attention is fully on Maurice.
Reading this dribble, trying to convince the world that losing in a Conference finals is a negative and our coach has to be blindly blamed, its sadly misplaced finger pointing that really comes from a group of finger pointers that have been trying for years to paint a picture that only they see.
Until they can show us something fruitful, meaningful, something from a hockey insider, analysts, analytics, something that specifically shows that what Maurice tried to execute, was execute fully but was the wrong plan, you got nothing.
Today the best JetsfaninFlorida has was articles written in 2015. Yup, ya got nothing.
