Can the Jets decline the penalty?  

I like that they are giving Morrissey more responsibilities. The guy never looked flustered or rushed and always seems to know the right play. There is also a lot of offense there that we are not seeing yet.

so let me get this straight, Ryan Nugent Hopkins is still on the team despite being demoted

That was the biggest save of the game so far.

Laine gets one!

OMG

ID10T error. I don't think I've seen one that bad in a long time.

Scheif needs to step up...

I thought they played well enough to win.

fixed it for you ...

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.

Owned in the 3rd. 

Tough break but PP and PK suck and cost them again. Nice giveaways by Buff to start the 3rd and a few others. Wheeler and Scheif look hurt. Vets outside of Perreault who is starting to come around really struggling. Enstrom not good since back from Sweden. 

Need a big trade or a coaching change for sure. 1 of the 2 needs to happen

How about better talent?

Talent is there. It's not being used properly.  I get you refuse to accept that coaching is a problem but it Is a huge one. 

Unfortunately for Laine that is going to be the misplay of the year.

No, don't think that. You may be right & as time goes on it is looking like Maurice may be fired. However you are complaining about coaching on just about every message you post in the Jets Forum here. I'm  just saying you don't have to tell us everytime as we posters here already know your feelings. #pokingthebear

When do you accept the goaltending is part of the problem? With better goaltending Maurice would look like a better coach.

I'd be shocked if Maurice is fired. If you fire two head coaches it's time to look at the GM. And that's a non starter.

And the race is on ... 

 

I think what people have to realize is when the jets came here it wasn't a matter of all things being equal. It was bad 

Jets had some nice pieces in Wheeler (was was under performing), Ladd, Buff, Toby.  But that was it. No bonafide star. Our third line was the GST Line which was barely adequate as our 4th line the following year. 

Chevy has put together a talented team with strong assets. But if the 5 year plan takes 7-8 I can't say I'd be surprised. This team is very young still. The idea for being bad and competing within 5 years is that you draft a star and already have some pieces. Jets barely had anything. 

 

I can't remember hearing any 5 year plan from management....that was a media thing.

Scheif was the first one drafted and didn't make the lineup for two years. Does that mean 5 years from then? pftttt.

No way is Chevy firing Maurice during the season and I am betting he gets an extension right after Chevy gets his this off-season. Is he stopping pucks? Playing the PP and PK? Did he tell Staf and Burmi to take the season off? He should be fired for letting all those guys play that rough sport of hockey and get hurt I guess. Does he have flaws? Hell ya but so does every other coach in the game. I remember fans questioning how Scotty Bowman was using his roster and they were in the midst of winning 4 straight Stanley Cups!

You have to remember that we started off with 10 players with one year or less to start the season. Four were greenhorn rookies. Didn't think there would be any hiccups or inconsistencies? These guys are learning and growing as a group and in a few years we will all be glad they were making their mistakes now and not then.

 

this year after 32 games 13-16-3 on Dec 11.

I get my hopes up game to game only to have them dashed after we show a little spark...This club is playing gawd awful and needs a shake up....It might be Maurice getting a pink slip orrrrr a trade that should have happened with Trouba at the beginning of the year...Don't know...but what I do know is this team has one helluva rook in Laine and the rest of the team  (except for Schiefle) looks like crap...Tough to watch and I think something is gonna give.
