no I think that was after four straight losses

 

too many losses coming into the halfway point of the season.

 

But we're having the same problem this year but it's not completely the coaches fault

It's 90 percent on the coaches. They are the ones who design the structure and system and game plan.

Did Noel get fired after a win?

It was a five game losing streak. But he was fired on a Sunday and Chevy admitted he called Maurice on the previous Tuesday. 

Does this sound familiar?

"It's not just the last two games, it is the consistency factor," Cheveldayoff said, adding the team kept taking a step forward and then two steps back to stay around .500.

The club is 19-23-5 and 10 points back of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

by the way the jets are currently 20-23-4  compared to 19-23-5 when Noel was canned

We'll know soon enough if Maurice has lost the room.

It hasn't gotten this bad yet 

 

I think he has and this is a last ditch desperation effort by a coach who knows he's on thin ice. 

Jets will have to go 24 11 to have a chance at the playoffs. .. that means winning more than 3 In a row a few times. They are finished.

.922 sv 2.48 ga - I'd take that problem.

Realistically, not yet. But soon, if we continue on the same path we've traveled the first half of the season.

Jets are basically right where they were when Noel was fired. 

Agreed. Except they have better players than Noel had 

Lawless doing yeomans work to deflect from the coaches.  You know someone at the top wants the fans narrative changed.

Hes a good TNSE lapdog. 

I wouldnt go that far.  I think he's good at telling the story that is accurate.  He has sources.  His sources told him coaching wasnt going to be changed but goaltending would..so thats the narrative he pushed against the grain of everyone else screaming for the coaches head.  I dont think he cares if they fire the coach or not...but Gary doesnt waste time on stories for the fans when he can write stories that are true.

Goaltending around the league seems to be going through an awful time.  

Holtby lets in 8. Murray 7. Price 7 and has been struggling. Tonight Jake Allen and Hutton have allowed 6 goals on 16 shots. St Louis really struggling at the moment.

So the key to Saturday vs the Blues... shoot the puck and lots.

It also seems that the shooters are becoming so much more accurate.

Goaltender coaching seems to have forgotten there is a top half to the net.

It just shows you that every goalie goes through rough stretches. 

Helle was about league average prior to his last 2 games.

Maybe Maurice isn't such a bad coach after all.

Interesting, that's what Pavelec said about Noel.

Confirmation that waiving him was the necessary thing to do.

Good luck Dave Tippett. 

Burmistrov had a lot of chances in his first stint with the Jets.   

Sens MacArthur is done...  looking for forward help

Maybe Staffford and Armia for Chabot?
