Ok. Gonna think about it

Scenario time: you are up by 1.. 1 minute or so to go.. Empty net.. Faceoff in your zone.. Who are your 3 forwards? Cuz its been CSW most nights even tho they statistically blow as a unit.. They get outscored as a line. Terrible defensively. Or do u put out your 3 best D forwards.. Hayes Copp Lowry.. Etc.. I put out my best D guys.. Maurice puts out his worst ones. The diff between 1st 2nd 3rd is.. Last minute losses with Scheif and Wheeler on the ice.

Right now? Yes. When im looking at O zone and D zone play... Lowry Copp Hayes are all better than Scheif as a centre. They actually play in the D zone.. Im betting scheif would be better if the minutes were spread out more evenly but cSW got 24 minutes 5 on 5. Hayes line got 12.. Here is your problem. Scheif and Wheeler barely try in the D zone.. Maybe 3 x a game but for the most part.. They are floaters. Likely gassed floaters tho.

I like Paul Maurice.. I just feel his time is coming to an end.. 5 years now.. Thats a long time. All coaches eventually lose the room.

But its not tho. They are terrible defensively and take 2 minute shifts. The hayes line which got 12 minutes of 5 on 5 ice time was the best line. Carolina and leafs fans have seen this b4 with Maurice.

They have done that for 20 minutes every game. The problem is the game is 60 minutes long

55 and 26 have been the most guilty of doing what They want to this year. The fact they take 2 minute shifts says all you need to know. Its so painfully obvious.. The lack of discipline and Accountability is a huge problem

Maurice def feeling pressure as hes relying way 2 much on the struggling scheif and wheeler.

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
