Recommended Posts

I guess.. Football forum side thread section here.. Bombers host 6 playoff games in 6 years.. Lose them all. How many coaches you think in those 6 years? More than 1 cuz losing 6 playoff games at home in a row gets u fired.

Watch them win tomorrow tho and lose game 7. 

I half expect St Louis to run us out of the building tomorrow tho.

Who ever was the D man behind the net...a right hand shot just needed to rim the puck around and up the far side boards where the right winger was properly situated as an outlet. Instead he tries to tie it up along the boards with too much time on the clock and it gets turned over.

This corrupted us all.  A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

This was the worst thing that happened to our fan base. Gave us completely unrealistic expectations. This team is not Cup or Bust yet. Firing Maurice right away because we lost to a hot goalie and a team that was tied with us in the standings will not propel us forward.

Playing 500 hockey and getting worse as times goes on...  this is not the trend we want.

Ummm this team totally has Stanley cup caliber players... it’s not unreal at all - we were in the conference finals last year

team needed muzzin or stone that’s all...  giving up roslovic doesn’t seem that extreme now

Big difference between Stanley Cup contender and “the guarantee” 4 years out. But that’s all anyone seems to see. We have SC caliber talent, but so do Tampa, Boston, Washington, Pittsburgh, Toronto, and now arguably NYI and Columbus (given their results in the first round) in the East, and Calgary, Nashville, Vegas in the West. San Jose, minus the goaltending woes no one saw at season’s start, have as much talent as anyone. And given their second half play, one could make an argument that St. Louis and Colorado have that caliber of talent too. And Dallas has the defence and goaltending that could carry them a long way. Point is, only one team can win - you don’t fire a coach just because you don’t make the conf. finals. 27 teams aren’t firing their coaches this year. We have not been outplayed in this series, we certainly have not had a lot of luck on our side. Even with talent, so much needs to happen to win a Cup. A lot more than a magazine article proclaiming it to be so a half decade ago.

I am of the belief that the team chose to rest up down the stretch as much as anything. Their first round play would indicate that they are not “fundamentally broken” like the nay-sayers would proclaim. Pushing hard to 114 points last year left us worn out by round 3 last year. It didn’t do Tampa or Calgary any good to pile on the points in the regular season. I see no indication based on their play in this series that Maurice has “lost the room” or that we are being outclassed by our opponent. The series had been remarkably tight, as it should be for two teams that each had 99 points. And it isn’t over yet. People need to stop firing the coach after each individual loss in a 7 game series.

It would be his replacement that scares me.

It starts with championship goaltending & goes out from there.  When the game is on the line how many of us have faith that Hellebuyck will make THAT save to preserve a win? I'm willing to say Biddington would have made the save with 15 seconds left on Thursday that Hellebuyck didn't. If fans don't have that confidence in our goaltending then what do his teammates think & how do they react in pressure situations?

Helle has carried this team - ridiculous to blame him

something has been wrong since all star break and there were cracks in the system before that

if there’s not a locker room conflict, then Maurice needs to go - we’ll see

He hasn't carried the team. Not this past season.  He's not the only problem with this team but he's part of it.

No other team has as many high slot scoring chances a the jets... our D is not Stanley cup level - helle and our power play covered that up for a long time

I've seen the guy let in more soft goals than a lot of other starting goalies. Like I said, there are other issues not just goaltending.
