IDK this is tough because I have been a fan of Maurice since he got here but.....I have noticed that he gets stuck on players (Burmi,Thornburn,Stuart) no matter what they bring to the team even had all 3 on the pk today!  The guy has been barely over 500 in his career and only been to the Stanley Cup final I think over 10 years ago. Perhaps we need to move on its tough because he is a great guy and a good coach just wonder is he a great coach?

The whole 'willing to play the youth thing' is so overblown...

A.  he doesn't have enough vets...  half of the ones left here have lost a step and were still trotted out night after night until mid-December

B.  he overplayed Stafford until Stafford was so awful that Maurice was forced to put him on the 4th line...  we don't remember Stafford being called in the shootout instead of Ehlers... or how many times Staff has been bumped up to first line

C.  Stuart got injured not benched

D.  Laine and Ehlers on 2nd power play unit...?

E.  If Trouba doesn't hold out and Myers doesn't get injured, Morrissey is third pairing for the next two years...

 

Stuart wasn't injured when he didn't play In the outdoor game

You're in a trolling mood today, aren't you...

Stuart was injured in early November... before that he was on our third pairing and killing penalties

No. He was a healthy scratch like Thor. Maurice was asked about it and said it was a tough decision because they both have done so much for the Jets over the years. I don't disagree with what you are saying... I think there are some better examples to use tho. 

For example...chiarot getting more ice time now than Morrissey.  Pavelec being recalled and praised when he sucked. The lack of accountability towards the Vets in general

Healthy scratch after he came back from his five or six games injured... anyway, we all saw him and Thorburn get way overplayed last season so not sure why the media is spinning this 'no other coach would play the youth' thing

Chiarot/Morrissey is a good point...  Maurice was forced to give Morrissey top minutes not the other way around...  Morrissey still has never really been given a shot on the PK yet

Oh yeah Maurice throw Hellebuyck under the bus for brutal play from our d......how long do we blame the players for a poor passive defensive schemes...the points on the opposition have all day to shoot even on 5 on 5....wow ..and we are gonna reward this guy with an extension...hopefully this proves that the so called genius of Cheveldayoff is definitely in question... time to clean house all around maybe...

Are you sure he's not saving him from Stuart and Chiarot?

Is it possible the jets are playing the d exactly the way Huddy draws it up?  Lol

fire this man. 

Enstrom and Buff have no chemistry - never have...

Chiarot can't play right side... so by third period, Morrissey is just playing it for him

Postma is our only D generating shots

This whole coaching staff needs to go.

Stafford on pp1 who really just pass the puck around for a minute or so and do nothing.  

Thorburn on the PK. 

Coaching is just pathetic 

We are as bad defensely as we were starting the year.. no improvement...that rests with whom? Cheveldayoff your ass and fire this guy already....man we suck at home...??

Can you imagine this team without Laine and Trouba... omfg.

Chevy ain't going anywhere 

On paper a top 4 of 

Buff Morrissey 

Trouba Toby 

It should be better. D zone play is awful. 

Why not go 

Buff Morrissey 

Postma Toby 

Shelter Chiara and Stu

It's just stupid roster decisions. Maurice has made them all year

Yeah well unfortunately Buff hasn't been great this year at all and Enstrom was brutal this game (Maurice kept putting him out there though) and it hasn't been a great year for him ethier... Chevy should stick if he fires Maurice and hires a great coach (Hitchcock?) If not I hope he goes down in flames with Maurice...if he resigns Maurice to an extension after this year he better be ready to walk the plank with him if the ship goes down.

Should probably just realize that Chevy is safe for probably a very long time

Unfortunately I agree with you and also that he will probably resign Maurice ...and still be safe....?

I'm not convinced about Maurice just yet. That extension chatter seemed to have died down 

You're right. On paper jets are way better. So chevy better sign trouba long term. And either make Maurice fire huddy and Flaherty or fire Maurice. 

Bonus points if chevy can unload Buff

The chatter was generated by the media. Doesn't mean it's gone away, just that something new and shiny has distracted them.

Buff has a NMC, he's going nowhere. He's had a down year but it's mainly because Maurice and the Coaches have seriously over played him.. he needs to play 22-24 minutes a night, instead of 30. Do that and Buff is much better. 

Put Buff on a playoff team and he's Conn Smyth,

Put Buff on the Jets and he's a $7.6 million dollar pylon for 4 more years.

If they keep Maurice, he needs to clear out his assistants.

The Jets are a playoff team as soon as Maurice plays his fourth line and 3rd D pairing for more than 7 minutes a game...

With Dano and Copp back, talent is there to roll four lines - moreso if Connor and Roslo make the move next year

Enstrom and Myers are a pretty impressive 3rd pairing - but no way Maurice ever goes for that.  He'll demote Trouba first.

I don't understand this...his assistants are under Maurice's direction...really what difference would it make...never heard of a great HC who was saddled with assistants that affected his coaching ability.
