Goalie

Except wheeler Scheif Connor ehlers laine Perreault copp even etc are not that type of player. They are skill guys. In football we refer to this as square pegs in round holes.

This is such a myth tho.. They are a skilled team being forced to play a grinding dump n chase cycle game. Jets might be tall i guess.. But not really... I don't know where this myth started... Jets were a grinder team when Ladd was here but not since then.. 100 percent skill team playing a grinding game that dont work with skilled players.. Its not just the O that is sputtering since the start of the new year.. These guys cant make 2 passes in a row.

Im almost old enough to remember this story.. I think i remember it even tho i was so damn young because it happened a couple days maybe b4 the Winnipeg in your house.. Hbk forfeited the IC belt to Dean Douglas who promptly lost it to Razor. Ill say this... I wouldn't believe anything Marty Jannety says as he's almost as bitter as Wayne Coleman is.

Yup. He was good in his likely 7 minutes of ice time.

Man.. The time of ice breakdown yesterday was just brutal. Csw double the ice of every one else. They were bad tho.. I don't get it. Also why did losing brandon tanev an ideal 4th line grinder make Maurice switch it all around.. Tanev getting hurt makes u **** with 3 lines but sucking since Jan doesnt?

Don't need to understand what it means to know its not good. I look at this chart and wonder how Maurice still has a job. 3 months of crap play.. Getting worse not better.

Their backup is Comrie bad so not that surprising

Theres a problem in the room. These guys are tight tho so its quite obviously hockey related. Could be you have a large group who have tuned Maurice out after almost 5 years. Could be related to the refusal to break up 55 and 26 regardless of how awful they have played. My best guess based on their effort level and other underlying issues is that Maurice has lost the room. Just screams coach who has lost them.. Comparing it to Claude Noel.. Jets have been worse for longer with more talent. Not good. The other possibility is Wheeler has lost the room as Captain as this year he plays the excuse game lots and never EVER puts any blame on himself. Trouba is an interesting theory.. It could be him not wanting to be here is playing a role.. Not sure how much of one tho, but.. If he doesn't want to be here then why is Maurice giving him PP1 time when hes said numerous times only guys who want to be here will get minutes. PP has been brutal.. Put Buff back on the top unit.

Maybe Huberdeau and their 1st? I dunno. There's talk they want Trouba. Keep in mind Florida has zero state taxes so 6 million there = 6 million.

Yikes.

They will trade for Trouba.

Thats not gonna happen

I dont believe he ever got a fair shot. Guy was super innovative

He can't. He won't. Hes been overplayed and is gassed and likely hurt. Only way we win if Helle allows 2 or less goals but even then he has a 930 save percentage last 9 games and Jets are like 1 6 2 in those 9. We done. Buff is pissed at Maurice about lack of PP time.

Colorado adjusted after the 1st. Maurice didnt. Connor Scheif Wheeler weren't good but played over 24 minutes... Ehlers played 12 and his line with Hayes and Perreault was our best. Coaching is a huge issue.

Wheeler and Connor made dumb ones 2 in regulation after Laine hit the crossbar. Nobody would shoot.. Grubauer was def out of position

Regardless... This team plays 1 period very good but then sleep for 2. Closed door meetings can't fix that. Jets gonna be 3rd in central. Lose to St Louis in 5 or 6.

Canes clinch a spot. I like that team.. They are fun to watch. They are my sleeper Cup Champions

JR and Excalibur.

JR is past his best b4 date in terms of commentary. Not good last time i heard him.

Players only 25 minute closed door meeting after game 80 is so very concerning. There is a divide in the room... Its real. Likely due to the refusal to break up 55 and 26 or the lack of consequences for struggling Vets. Young guys eat **** when they **** up.. Vets? Back out next shift with no consequences ever. Must get tiring cuz seems to me the young guys tend to bring it mors often than our Vets do.

Its pretty obvious scheif and wheeler run the team and maurice lets them.. This is a huge problem. If ppl dont see it.. I dunno.. Considering all facts the only possible conclusion is they run the team and do as they please because 1. Maurice wont discipline them or 2. Break them up. Awful defensively yet on the PK and out with 1 minute left in games leading by 1.. Same ice time every game regardless of how they are playing. Im betting the other players have had enough.

Its a problem this year tho. Last year Scheif and Wheeler brought it every game in the o zone and D zone.. Last year was last year tho.. This is a different season. Last years Jets destroy this years 4 straight.. Im having a hard time believing they are just waiting for the playoffs to start..

Every player on the roster minus 2 guys have played with someone different.. 2 guys haven't.. Can anyone guess who those 2 are?? This is what causes dressing room issues... The constant playing of 55 and 26 regardless of how good or bad they are.. Regardless of how poor they are in the D zone.. Still on the PK.. Still out giving up leads with 1 minute to go. Still running the team.. Im pretty convinced 55 and 26 tell Maurice when they want ice and he says ok.. This is the likely cause of concern in the room.

Lol. The 20 year old is the problem? Seriously Laine has evolved in to a better player the last while. He was the guy setting up wheeler on the first line.. Hes also played well with Hayes. The problem is 55 and 26 and the refusal to break them up.. If u are Connor Ehlers Laine etc and u get benched for making a mistake or u get demoted for making a mistake, and u see 55 and 26 and 57 and even 33 do the same over and over with zero repercussions then what would u think? If im in that room im wondering when the Coach decides to hold Every one to the same standards. Switching out the LW every 5 games dont make a diff when your leaders are floating Its not the 20 yr old with 50 points thats the problem... Its a leadership and coaching problem. Dump n chase is stupid with a skill team. Break it down... Coaching issues : The PK.. Trouba on PP1 over Buff. Doing everything but breaking up 55 and 26... Hendricks in for Roslo.. (It was dumb) you play your best players.. Hendrix is not 1 of them. There are other issues such as ice time distribution among the 4 lines and lack of in game adjustments.. Minny beat us playing that same boring style every game this year.. Maurice had no answers. Player issues: honestly im gonna look at our leaders here.. Scheif Wheeler Buff.. Little, Perreault is a good vet.. Points are good but when u give up more than you put in.. Not good. Scheif and Wheeler are mailing it in since Jan 1st.. What happened at the ASB? Little is having a down year as is Perreault until recently. Buff has been hurt and kind of hasnt been as good himself. Its great to blame the future in Laine or Ehlers or Connor.. Niku.. Roslo etc.. But if all these guys need to put up 30 goals each for us to do well we are ******.. Its crazy.. We have most of the team in double digit goal scoring.. 10 Plus goals for like 12 13 guys maybe more. Our bottom 6 is solid.. Our top 6 is MIA.. Hayes has been consistent recently as has Connor and even Laine. Scheif Wheeler to a lesser extent Ehlers have not been. Im not sure why maurice refuses to break up scheif and wheeler.. Try it.... He needs to.. Its the only thing he hasn't done yet. Connor Scheif Laine Ehlers Hayes Wheeler. Then maybe the ice time is distributed more evenly all around.
