Posted November 20, 20168 yr comment_235992 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?
November 21, 20168 yr comment_235996 I was about to post, when do the fire Paul Maurice chants become legit? There's a reason Stuart hasn't played in 11 games prior to this one ... he SUCKS! Edited November 21, 20168 yr by IC Khari
November 21, 20168 yr comment_236003 No no, Thorbs, Stu and Burmi are allstars and deserve to play...they should see more ice time...
November 21, 20168 yr comment_236004 yeah until I hear those chants? even I think it's a little harsh but would this mean Vincent be the coach I mean considering the good job he did with the moose?
November 21, 20168 yr comment_236013 People thinking those players are why jets have lost three in a row....

November 21, 20168 yr comment_236021 I don't disagree with the idea of this topic. I think maurice definitely makes lots of very questionable roster decisions. I think he definitely favors vets and vets can cost you goals every game and they don't get reprimanded. A rookie does that and he's benched. And I don't think Maurice is the RIGHT coach for a fast skilled team.... but.... crazy schedule bunch of top 6 players out.... yeah.... it's tough. But I'm not sure little Perreault or stafford makes a huge difference in the big picture
November 21, 20168 yr comment_236027 I don't think they make a huge difference. Would they be less gassed after 10 games in 18 days? There are fundamental problems with this team and it's on coaching
November 21, 20168 yr comment_236028 well if you don't think those players would make a difference, u r talking outta your azz
November 21, 20168 yr comment_236029 And if you think armia is more important than drew stafford on a Paul Maurice coached team you are talking out of yours
November 21, 20168 yr comment_236030 I'll give you an example of a fundamental problem You call up De Leo.... high energy guy with a non stop motor. Your team is quite obviously gassed and tired. You leave Burmi and thorburn in... and the fresh legs of De Leo sits. Now does De Leo make a difference? Probably not but he's got fresh legs and for a team that's gassed and tired... where is the logic in not playing him instead of Burmi or Thor.
November 21, 20168 yr comment_236032 but when I pointed this out a week ago everybody was telling me to quit arguing. I can't remember who but somebody was bragging about the Jets being in second place when they had games in hand on everybody below them. They are in third place now and have 4 or so games on the two teams right behind them. The long road trip they had last November did them in as far as the playoffs go I hope this road trip doesn't do the same thing to them. If we were getting at least average goaltending we would be a better team. Little's injury is affecting this team a lot more than some people realize. Edited November 21, 20168 yr by Ducky

If the players for the Jets play poorly because Burmi starts as 4th line centre over De Leo, then they aren't professionals. I guarantee you it says absolutely nothing to the other players. Especially when the narrative of Burmi being awful isnt true.

That being said, I'm nowhere near as educated of a fan when it comes to hockey as I am with football, so I tend to stay out of it but I just see plenty of things about Maurice that irk me a bit.

Why are you not a fan of Paul Maurice? For myself I see a lot of similarities between him and O'Shea and how they handle the media , players , roster management etc....

We generally start with poor first periods, I'm not a huge fan of how often he likes to shuffle the lines - especially when he'll shuffle up combos because the previous ones have been slumping, then he'll run an entire game with a line that clearly has no chemistry, too patient with individuals (coughBurmicough) despite his general impatience with lines that aren't producing.
November 21, 20168 yr comment_236068 The difference between O'shea and Maurice is O'shea actually shows sign of learning from his past mistakes. Great example would be leaving in loffler when macho was obviously healthy. Maurice would pull loffler once the vet wad healthy. Petan Dano Copp have all been good and when little stafford and MP are healthy will be sent down and Burmi and thorburn will still play

Apples and oranges.
November 21, 20168 yr comment_236077 As a casual fan with no deep knowledge of coaching hockey .. My main concern is that he has coached a for a long time with different teams and seems to consistently achieve only slightly above average results.

The point being.... he favors veterans even if they are underperforming ones to younger players. Go ask a Carolina fan (if you can find one, about Maurice) it's the same old story.
