Goalie

Give Hutch Buffalo or don't play him again until helle is gassed

We have better than league average goaltending from helle 5 on 5. Our PK kills us tho. It's legit cost us games and almost cost us another tonight. I remember plenty of games that we have lost because our PK is almost dead last. You give us a average PK... we probably have 5 or 6 more wins if not more... there was a stretch where helle didn't let in a 5 on 5 goal for 2 games and we went 1 and 1. Our PK is our downfall and will be the reason we miss the playoffs

Certain things are off limits I feel. What someone says at a game in the heat of the moment... I'd consider that off limits. I'd actually consider it almost tabloid type national enquirer stuff. Regardless of what Chipman said... it's off limits. There is this thing called mutual respect and I have always felt that our media outside of a couple guys now don't really understand what that means. They feel that they can **** on teams players coaches and justify it by saying that's my job. But thats not how it works and it really isn't their job. If you actually listen to O'shea or Maurice talk in their media availabilities... you can hear the respect they have for certain guys (Bauming Penton Wiebe even Hamilton ) and the outright disdain they rightfully have for guys like Wicek and Friesen who constantly crap on them and their team. Welcome to 2017. Where people don't really give a crap about what guys like Wicek and Friesen have to say because 1. We have heard it all before 2. We have ways of getting the info we want ourselves and 3. Bottom line really... who reads a paper anymore. If I'm Wicek and Friesen and these guys. I think very long and hard next time I decide to crap on teams or coaches cuz in a couple of years when I'm unemployed because print media is dead.... you will have pissed the people you could be working for off.

Tampa dominated for periods of the game. Helle was very very good especially in the first and the 3rd for that matter. Yeah. Tampa scored a few in the third but helle made some huge saves. Didn't like the play of the 4th line at all and Postma and Chiarot. Everyone else was pretty solid. Buff coasting back in to our zone last on the 2nd Tampa goal. Still odd coaching decisions like stafford on the PP and PK and a very passive PK in general. But a good rebound game after a very lackluster effort against the Islanders

It's because IT IS .

Meh. Should have? Nah he deserved a chance to show what he could do. Got passed on the depth chart. Oh well.

I guess if we aren't going to be making the playoffs... play hutch more. Liljegren Patrick or Hishier would look nice in Jets colors

Ya epic fail not getting a 7th Rd pick for him. They shopped him. Nobody wanted to give up ANYTHING. Oh well.

Yeah. I should probably start blaming rookies to the nhl and not the 500 career coach who has been around for years and had the same results everywhere he's coached. Silly me. Lack of discipline crap pk penalties stupid line shuffling and roster decisions are totally not on the coaches.

Crapping on the goalies and pretty much only them after every loss suggests injuries aren't really the number 1 reason tho. I dunno tho.

Chiarot only looked good when buff was playing like a man possessed. He's never been that good. I'm not sure Stu is am option. I'd think he would have been playing a bit more if he was.

What they could do... Chiarot should not be playing on a regular basis. Waive him to manitoba. Sign Czuchman or whoever you spell it to a PTO.. he's with the Moose on a AHL deal and has been their best d by far. He deserves a shot. He'd be an upgrade on Chiarot. Major trades seem unlikely since there's been none but a minor one to upgrade your bottom pairing D could be an option if signing Czuchman isn't. Get myers back. Buff Morrissey Trouba Enstrom Myers Czuchman. It's better than what we currently have. That's all they really can do. Comrie isn't being brought up. Ducky thinks it's goaltending but it's not... it's the way the team plays in the D zone. Fix the D zone play and the goalies improve. Besides that or firing Maurice... nothing much will happen until the trade deadline or after the expansion draft. In football you can tell when a coach is a dead man walking... same with every sport and right now... Maurice looks like he's thar dead man walking. Efforts like the 1 against the islanders and Canucks for that matter... those usually result in the firing of a coach shortly after. I think if you see similar lack of effort on this road trip... Maurice might be sent packing.

Except they won't. Because they aren't stupid. Sorry but waiving an expansion eligible cheap goalie would be stupid.

You are a very angry person. Regardless if the entire team comes out and lays eggs yeah I blame Maurice. When you lose 6 2 to the worst road team in the league in your own barn and it looks like your effort wad non existent... yeah that's on coaching. I won't blame Maurice for every loss but when the teams effort isn't there... who else can you blame. A goalie? When the whole team looks disorganized and sloppy? Nope I fully expect you to blame goaltending for all our losses. I mean we have scored 1 or 2 goals a game and you still blame the goalies when we lose 2 1

They shopped Burmi around. No takers. Nobody wantedto give anything up. Waived him and Arizona decided to give him a shot. I wish him well. He just wasn't going to be a part of the team anymore. Sucks losing him for nothing but... if someone was willing to offer something for him... we wouldn't have. It is what it is.

It would be if the Jets didn't take penalties. Are you serious tho. If you don't think our penalties lack of discipline and crap pk Is a major reason for our struggles you are out to lunch. We have the 2nd 3rd or worst pk in the league and take tons of penalties. It's tge biggest issue with this team and has been since Maurice was named coach

5 on 5 play helle is in the top 10 in the league in save percentage

Ducky always looks to blame just 1 guy tho. He seems to lack the understanding that it's a team effort or lack there of.

Those 3 all go together like a horse and carriage. Penalties lead to the PK which leads to goals against. Hey. You posted something about the Jets giving up X amount of goals.... I have an idea for you.... find out how many of those goals were a result of penalties leading to the PK

Ya. The guy in the top 10 5 on 5 probably starts.

Aka. Fix the PP and PK and we are a hell of a lot better

Another effort like last night and I think Maurice will be fired mid season

What's failing the Jets isn't 1 player. It's not 1 or 2 guys. It's their lack of discipline. It's their poor PK. It's their garbage PP. Fix the PP and PK and we are a very good team actually. Problem is... the coach can't and hasn't been able to do that anytime in his coaching career.

Sure. Why not. Chevy - B+ . Signed scheif long term. Waited out Trouba. The players the Jets have drafted and developed have been their best. Lack of trades? Yup but basically been none all year Maurice - F. His roster decisions are stupidity at times. His line shuffling borders on insanity. His love of struggling vets. Lack of discipline poor PK and PP all fall on the coach. Goalies Hutch D - He's the vet. He needs to show it. Needs to be more consistent Helle C+ almost B. 1 of the best 5 on 5 goalies in the league. Top 10 actually. Pretty consistent. Has struggled at times but he's a rookie in the nhl... it happens. Buff - B+ Don't think he's been as bad as people say. Producing points. Soft in the D zone TROUBA - B. Has looked better more recently but definitely had some struggles early on Morrissey - A. For a rookie he's been our best D man. Playing with Buff who is all over the ice at times (that's buff tho). Very good defensively and 1 of maybe 2 d men (trouba being the other) who can actually make an accurate pass Enstrom - C. Meh really. He is what he is. Postma Chiarot Stuart - F. Bottom line...They aren't NHL calibre D men Myers - NA FORWARDS Scheif - B +. He's a defensively responsible 2 way center playing hurt and with a rookie and sophomore. He's been very good Little - B. He's good when healthy Lowry - B-. Gotta admit he's been pretty good. Perhaps he's found who he is as a player Petan - C + he's been okay Laine - A. He's 18. He's been one of our best players Wheeler B. Nice guy. Tries hard. Looks hurt. Carries his line at times. Armia - NA. Hurt to long but I like what I've seen. Needs to find some finish tho Dano. - B. likes his gam . Perfect bottom 6 guy. It's a shame hes out 6 to 9 weeks Stafford - F. Fail. He's been awful Ehlers - A. Our best most consistent point producer. Electric really Perreault - C. Fail at center. Much better on the wing. Like PLW actually Matthias - C. He is what he is. Copp - B. Pleasant surprise Tanev. - C. Hard worker. Strong forechecker. Ideal 4th liner The rest Aka Burmi Thorburn and whoever else I missed... NA or F. Basically they don't belong in the NHL anymore

When the entire team lays an egg against the worst road team in the league. .. it's coaching. You can blame goalies or 4th liners but the whole team was AWFUL.
