I guess he got lucky........is there a pdo on coaches?

35 - 18 - 3 ........terrible......

This game was terrible, as were the last 20, and it’s getting worse game by game.

You can ignore the trend all you want, but when we’re bounced in round 1 after a flaccid performance with a young team that should be improving steadily, but instead is actually regressing all over the goddamn place, you aren’t allowed to flip the other way and question the suits on the bench.

Teams don't lose a playoff round in February.

I guess that Laviolette must be equally incompetent, because the Preds cannot catch the Jets in the standings (Losing 3-1 to ST.Louis as I type this).
- bennythehat

Laviolette's struggles have no relation to what the Jets are going through. They do not affect the Jets' play in any way. It might be worth looking at to see if there are similar challenges but I'm not worried about Lavy.

Someone please step me through the rationale for firing a coach who is 1st in Division and 3rd overall ? ... cause I sure as f_ck don't see it .... really ?!?

Connor should be signed long term before season is over ... period ... and he is way the F better than Roslovic

Lemiuex, Copp are keepers cause they produce and don't cost much at all

I don't know, man, I see a fair bit of 'overthinking' here

Laviolette is lucky - he doesn't have an immature floater masquerading as a generational goal scorer on his roster.

Count me in here as well.

I come here for you Scheifele tracking
- Rexypoo

No worries, but Scheifele is playing an average of 22 minutes a game. This highlights the main deficiency with the Jets. Opponents know that if they stop Scheifele, that they essentially stop the Jets offense. I don't count the Ducks game as they are atrocious.

We need another #1 center.

Who said anything about firing? It's time some pointed criticism came to him from within the org about what's going on. It's because there's a trend developing and it's not going in the right direction.

This can and may be turned around but given that we're over 50 games I'm not sure what's left for Maurice to try. I'm happy to be wrong though.

sometimes a coach can not get his team to the next level ( no matter where there are in the standings), or has just run his course with the current team. Why did Trotz win the cup with the Caps but not Boudreau who actually coached them to more regular season success? why was Boudreau fired? I'm not firing Maurice right now!! but at what point if we don't win the cup do you need to see if someone else can get us there? New Jersey and Pitt both fired coaches in season while having very good years and then went on to win the cup with the new coach.

cant compare Roslovic and Connor right now because who they have played with and for how long is not even close to similar!!! do you honestly think if Connor was centering the 4th line most of this year and Roslovic was playing wing on the top line their numbers would still be the same? common!!!

Pretty much bang on Keith. Myers should be extended as well. I'd like to see them lock down Tanev too. Maurice is doing a great job. Fourth line has been nothing short of excellent. Some people just enjoy fear-mongering. Jets are fine.

only the Hawks, Ducks and Sens have allowed more shots on net than the Jets this year.

I'm not the biggest Anylitics supporter but honestly, you have to be a moron ( and sorry for name calling ) to not see that this is a huge problem!!!

it is a problem and will catch up to us and when it does I wont accept excuses like we ran into a hot goalie, poor reffing or bad bounces.

actaully has anyone noticed Tanev over the last ten games? I havent. if he wants to re sign for current salary fine, but any raise requests and see ya later. not a hard guy to replace

- bennythehat

Laine appears to be the one and only problem on the Jet's roster right now. The rest of the team is solid.

Edit: I should add that I see Perreault as also a problem. He is overpaid for his role on the third/fourth lines. Tanev, Copp, Lemieux, Middleton have all been better than Perreault the last 10 games or so at vastly lower salaries. Furthermore, the TLC line hasn't been as good since Perreault replaced Copp. He is very expendable at the trade deadline.

Laine could go the way of other "generational" goal scorers as: Jimmy Carson and Sylvain Turgeon.

The Jets have been a shell of themselves all year. The rumbling is getting louder and louder because it’s getting worse and worse. Paper tiger.

Not all Jet fans reside in twitterverse or even pay any attention to anonymous twitter junkies spewing their so called computer screen hockey knowledge.

This blog is a perfect example of peripheral noise where you need to filter it out and focus on the results and the reality that other teams are jacked up to play the Jets.

Let’s see if the Habs or Ottawa can string together 5 games at the intensity level that they played the Jets. They can’t, and if they could, they would be way higher in the standings. No one wants to get run over by the Jets so the intensity is ramped up each and ever game, aside from Anaheim.

I am sorry but I consider this blog as peripheral noise with biased agenda.

I agree with Keith in his comments.

I see Perreault as a player having his minutes managed due to injury history, and its working. He is a nice luxury to have around as long as we can manage the cap. To use a street race metaphor there is more under the hood than meets the eye.

Good post - maurice's job this year is looking past the first goal of making the playoffs and is keyed on having the team ready for the playoffs.
RE: Morrow and Niku - Morrow is the reclamation project, Niku will be fine... he is confident and will be hungry when he gets his opportunities.
RE: Roslovic - got player of the week as a middle six player, that doesn't mean it is a good decision to move him up the lineup. the process is working.
RE: Laine - he will come around, if he hasn't already.
RE: Sheifle's ice time - he is a young thorobred with superior training and diet, if anyone can play more its him. I question the 1.5 minutes of PP time on every opportunity - this is an area where his time can be reduced to the benefit of the team.
RE: expectations... Winnipeg is expecting the Jets to win, or at least get to the SCF.
sportclubstats.com says that historically a team in the Jets place in the standings has about a 1/10 chance of winning the cup. With the expectation of glory and the numbers reality this means that 8/10 times the naysayers will feel vindicated... and they may never understand that feeling vindication doesn't make them right.
RE: maurice - I haven't always been a Maurice fan but he has won me over. Near the start of the 2017-18 season I said (think it was on this forum) that it was time for this Maurice coached team to take the next step or be shown the door. The team/Maurice delivered. I don't see this year as being so pivotal for judging Maurice, however, by next year we need to see more again.

The top line is being played into the ground, with the added benefit of getting the absolute minimum from both Wheeler and Scheifele due to them being together (and exhausted) all the time when they should realistically be carrying separate lines. Add into that Kyle Connor, a player whom is actually an anchor on that top line when he’s not scoring due to his overexposure and still developing (but currently ass) two way game.

The 2nd line has been dead in the water for over a month and a half now, and Maurice seems content to do absolutely goddamn nothing about it. Roslovic is doing his utter best, and impressing in the process, but he’s still getting sunk. Little is providing no defensive support whatsoever, and he hasn’t been a play driver since 2015, so he’s sinking. Laine hasn’t had a centre since Stastny, and Maurice absolutely refuses to try him with anyone but Little, even though LITERALLY ALL OF SCHEIFELE, LOWRY, AND COPP WOULD BE INFINITELY BETTER MATCHES WITH HIM, so now he’s sinking too.

The 3rd line is doing well, but you’re totally wasting Perreault’s god like scoring chance creation on two non-shooters in Lowry and Tanev, while wasting Lowry’s play driving on Tanev, and Tanev’s chaos on two guys who don’t play the same straight line game he does. All 3 are mismatched together.

The 4th line is riding an incredible lucky streak of late, with Lemieux himself having the highest PDO AND shooting percentage of anyone in the league. They’re being outshot, outchanced, and generally sh*tkicked in all 3 zones. When the luck wears off, they’ll be exposed, and despite his best efforts, Andrew Copp cannot carry Lemieux forever.

The top pairing is actually fine, so that’s fun.

The second pairing is a mess, as Byfuglien still doesn’t have a partner, and Morrow and Chiarot are not NHL defencemen. Maurice refuses to let Niku have a go next to the guy who has LITERALLY MADE A CAREER OUT OF CARRYING WAIVER FODDER. Clitsome, Chiarot, Morrow, Pardy, Harrison, etc. Let the top prospect have a game next to the coke machine, you stubborn tool, Paul.

The bottom pairing, when Kulikov-Myers, is excellent. When either player is without the other? Jesus Christ. Keep them together, or hide them.

No worries, but Scheifele is playing an average of 22 minutes a game. This highlights the main deficiency with the Jets. Opponents know that if they stop Scheifele, that they essentially stop the Jets offense. I don't count the Ducks game as they are atrocious.

I don't disagree that we probably need a better option at C in the long term. But for this playoff I could see Stone being a good answer.

Roslovic-Little have a 56% corsi together and a 43% corsi when Laine plays with them. You could add Stone to those 2 and drop Laine to a third line situation that looks like this:
Conner-Copp-Laine

Little has really stepped up this year.

I am starting to think that Chevy will do nothing this year. Past performance is a good indicator of future performance. I can'ts see Chevy making any significant moves.

It's been reported that the only reason we got Stastny was because Armstrong approached Chevy.

If you wanna go by the previous performance comparison, we need to upgrade on Chiarot immediately, as well as dropping Little down a line. He’s in year 4 of his decline
