Usually in a 1-1 game with 10 min to go no most great coaches think about making sure you don't give up an easy one at the end of a game....esp shorthanded which is a backbreaker...

Stickem Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 After that dismal Pitts. showing why is Maurice still around....This is a gutless organization with no direction...Teams that want to move forward like Mont. gas guys like Therrien cuz he wasn't getting it done and have righted the ship...We continue to flounder and will be out of the playoffs for the second year in a row...Open your eyes Chevy before they start looking at you.

I don't know why Chevy get's let off the hook, he is on his second coach already. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/goaltending-gets-coaches-fired-maurice-worry/ Quote But we would ask: Should Maurice be made to pay for a sub-par, inconsistent season from his top blueliner, Dustin Byfuglien? Is it the coach’s fault that management spends $5.75 million on defenceman Toby Enstrom, who has one goal? And then there is the ultimate coach killer: goaltending. Coming off a 2011-12 season in which goaltender Ondrej Pavelec posted a mediocre .906 save percentage, Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff committed to the Czech goaler, signing Pavelec to a five-year, $19.5-million deal. By training camp 2016, Pavelec was ticketed to the minors and the job was handed to the tandem of 23-year-old Connor Hellebuyck and career backup Michael Hutchinson. In short, Jets management misplayed its goaltending hand, and with a 25th-ranked .899 team save percentage, that decision may have cost them the 2016-17 season.

The Unknown Poster Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 When it comes to under-performing players then yes, maurice should get some blame. He's the coach. Chevy's decisions are an issue too but only if he's not executing ownerships plan. If ownership was fine with not having a veteran back up and risking the struggles of a young goalie, then so be it. If ownership was fine not bringing in D help when Trouba held out and Myers got hurt and Buff struggled playing 30 minutes, then so be it. Who's decision has it been to keep the same goalie coach that has seen every goalie get worse the more they play here? Who's decision has it been to keep a D coach since Day One when the D has been a consistent issue? If that's Chevy, thats a problem. If it's Maurice, its his problem. if it's Chipman, then he is clueless. And thats not true, so whats the issue? Budget? Who knows. Big if Chevy and Maurice both get multi year extensions it tells you ownership is completely fine with what happened this year or very, very optimistic in the face of contrary evidence. bb1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how hands on people think Chipman is or should be? Chipman isn't really a hockey person. He is a business person. It's Chevy's job to make these decisions. The types of things you bring up here seem too far down in the weeds for Chipman to sign off on. Those are all hockey decisions not budget decisions. And I don't think you can make the argument budget stops you from bringing in a more veteran goalie. Same with Trouba and Buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigseye Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Thanks to Chevy, the team is hooped until 2018-19 when they can shed salary, expect more of the same until then. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/cap-central/team.php?team=WIN Changing coaches won't solve the root of the problem which is tying your wagon to the wrong horses pulling the cart.

And I don't think you can make the argument budget stops you from bringing in a more veteran goalie. Same with Trouba and Buff. Chipman shouldnt be involved in those discussions. But he's the team President. He's Chevy's boss. It stands to reason that should Chevy ever stop generating acceptable results that Chipman will be the one to make the decision to fire him. So the direction of the team in a general sense comes from ownership, especially Chipman. Having a young team go through growing pains and NOT spending money on a veteran goalie probably falls within his wheel house. Maybe not the decision to not get D help. I doubt Chipman ran into Chevy at the corporate urinal and said "hey maybe grab Stone". But the team losing partially as a result of struggling due to the injuries and inconsistent D play falls on Chevy and surely is something Chipman is aware of. Presumably Chevy's failure to act to improve the D is not something that Chipman is overly unhappy about if the rumours of an extension are true. But being a draft & develop, go through growing pains, let the kids fail - that vision is going to be an ownership vision. If it isnt, then both Chevy and Maurice will be fired. Which they wont. Hence, Chipman's job as Team President and holder of the money approves of the way Chevy conducts himself. Unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a bit dramatic. Because of Toby's contract? Jets have cap space. They arent hooped at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets have ~$18M of cap space for next year and no major UFA/RFA re-signings required. How is this team 'hooped'? Biggest off-season signing will be a quality back-up (1B) goaltender.

pigseye Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 The Jets don't spend to their ceiling, if they did, they wouldn't have $9M in space this season. Pavs's salary is the only real relief next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigseye Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Their hooped because they are tied to most of those contracts until 2018-19 while they wait for the prospects to develop. They still won't have a starting goalie and six capable defence men and only two forward lines producing any points. Who else is to blame for the product on the ice and managing the salary if not the GM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time though it seemed like a good thing. Pav was on a bad team and was .906 Now what really would have been interesting is if his drunk driving incident had been revealed to the team before he signed the contract. Bunch of guys got $$$ deals back then because of that one season. Toby and Kane got 4-5m/yr which seemed good at the time. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add in if Chevy resigns Maurice to a multi year contract this off-season then he should follow if Maurice fails.But it won't happen cause Chipman has stated in public that he thinks Chevy is a genius....besides winning an AHL cup what has he won to warrant that thinking is a head scratcher. ? He is great at being patient I will give him that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
