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?

Other then talent at certain positions?

It's not the talent. It's 1 or 2 veterans and it's obvious.  @bustamentesaid it in another thread... the vets are just to casual and cavalier like out there and are slowly pulling the kids that direction also. It's The veteran core of quite frankly, losers who don't know what it takes to win because they never have. 

Buff? He was a passenger on a stacked Chicago team. Now? He's a pilot.  What has wheeler or even little ever won in their careers?  Nothing. That's the problem. Our veterans are LOSERS

So if you haven't won a cup, a divisional title you're a loser?

Well, you're certainly not a winner.

Ouch.

credit to Hustler and Lawless not afraid to say what they think about the Jets.

Lawless just said move Buff. Very outspoken today. good for them.

I agree. trade the guy.

(I say trade him to Columbus)

Thats a major development.  Because Lawless is usually the smoke that indicates a fire...

Google what Olli jokinen said about the players disrespecting and talking back to Noel

Hustler and Lawless just mentioned a game with Noel as coach, (maybe against Columbus) where it was plain that he players were playing to get the coach fired.

some of those guys still here.

enough of that crap.

Buff's no move clause means he would get plenty of say if he is put on the block.

I think they hired Noel because of his repuation of working with young players.  But he didnt have the cache to get into it with entitled millionaire veterans.  Chevy wanted Maurice because, as Maurice said, he could make them f'n cry. 

And its too easy to say get rid of them because its the norm in Sports for players to check out of listening to a coach but I'd be *interested* in any thoughts that players that purposely played poorly or purposely was disrespectful to their coach to get him fired should have been moved out for not being the right type of player.

Also, Noel seemed like a genuinely nice man.  I didnt know him.  But he seemed that.  I hope we dont have a culture of disrespect in our locker room.

The good news, in the off-season, there is likely a lot of team interested.  Anyone know what Buff's NMC details are?  is it a full NMC?  One where he has to submit a list of teams?

Also, Google didnt show me what Jokinen said about Noel/Players.  @Goalie can you link?

Answering my own question, Capfriendly lists Buff's NMC as a "No Movement Clause" until 18/19 when it becomes a 14 team no-trade list.

So prior to 18/19, Jets would need Buff to agree 100%.

How does he like the Desert?  (Not Dessert)  Maybe Vegas would like to make him the centerpiece of a deal.

Yup, Chevy has tied us to the current group of under-performing veteran malcontents until 18/19, after that is when we find out how the draft and development strategy works out, which is why the coach will get extended.

Im not worried about a NMC unless Buff just flat out refuses to leave.  He'd garner enough interest.

But if we want a coach who can develop young players and teach them to play the right away and who has enough respect and clout to stick it to veterans, when is Dale Hawerchuk ready to become a Head Coach?

Owner knew Noel not Ramsay and with ATL missing the playoffs there was really no loss in their mind.

Maurice has said similar things to this this year.  You can shelter rookies in most other positions on the match-ups you give them and the situations you put them on the ice.  As they learn and prove they can handle things, you can increase the things you ask them to do.  You can't with goalies, they are out there all the time for everyone to see the good and bad.

 

And this is the genius of Chevy?? He deliberately hung the kid out to dry. For that, Chipman will give him an extension.

Even last year what was with playing him upteen games in a roll?

Stu on the 4 on 3 PK In OT after buff takes a bad penalty. 

 

Coaching is just awful 

Said it awhile ago....Maurice has to go...There's no upside to keeping him here, only more fan discontent ..I hope they have someone else in mind and give Paul the pink slip at the end of the year...It's obvious he's lost the players and another year of b.s. like this last one ,would be disheartening...Time to move on Chevy

Chevy.

Changed it for ya.

Just can't see Maurice getting canned this summer... he'll be here until next xmas at least imo

Myers is a great excuse to fall back on, Trouba holdout, Enstrom situation...  young guys developing - giving them chances to make mistakes...  goalie struggles, Pavs injury...

The list of excuses goes on and on and on...  plus if he's fired now, Jets still have to pay him for another year anyway... no?  TNSE won't do that - maybe half a season but not a full one for nothing.

I'd buy into Injuries, poor goaltending and youth.  But none of that explains the WAY too many games they looked unprepared, undisciplined and uninterested.  Far too many games where the effort was lacking.

Lawless is all over the idea they have a "leadership" issue.  I remember hearing the same under Captain Ladd.  So whats the deal?

Lawless either knows that an extension is already signed... or that its planned...  I think he's covering for TNSE - I mean how many excuses has he run through this season and never really questioned coaching.
