Paul Maurice quote: “Jack Roslovic created that goal, and he needed to, because he was SO bad through two and a half periods”.
What? What? Are you serious PoMo? Calling out one of the only players actually creating anything offensively on the ice for you?
Yeah Bitetto, Poolman, Dahlstrom, Sbisa, & Kulikov are all interchangeable AHLers.

Not that Mo was wrong about Rosie, but he really needs to can it with the calling out players, particularly young ones. He sounds like a jackass.

I was shocked by that comment-just horrible. If anything, he should have called out Scheif.

Yeah, 55 was so bad defensively, cheating for offence all over the ice. He's lucky that Kane goal was called back because it was all on him. Lazy and uncommitted again.

That is borderline infuriating. I'm going to bed.

Enjoy your flight

I think we all would agree --the Jet's have more than enough offensive firepower, but they just have to improve their defense capabities, and that includes their forwards coming back and helping out the defence.
Scheifele and Wheeler who are supposed to be leaders are the first ones that have to step up and hustle.
As much as many fans love Laine -- I think I'd look seriously at trading him for a couple defenseman, as we need more defensive capability, and would lose some scoring -- and what we'd lose, we'd pick up in return on a solid trade. I think this is the way to go. It will take to long to draft and develop defenseman. Pull the trigger on a big deal Chevy -- or we're a 500 team or worse this year.
Answer--trade Laine -- the return players would be great, and make this team a more complete team. I know this is not popular, but we don't need scorers --we need some 2 way hockey players.
We need guys like Lowry or Copp, who "can also score" OR a couple of really good solid defenseman who can also play with some offensive ability--then we'd be a lot more competitive.

At least that explains why Ehlers wasn't on the top unit. I guess as long as PP1 is designed to set up a shooter at the left circle or in the slot Ehlers won't be on it if he doesn't want to play his off side.
He wasn't even prompted about Roslovic specifically, just decided to throw him under the bus on the way out.
Edit: Expanding on the Roslovic quote from Maurice - Absolutely nobody on the Jets had good shot metrics. Pointing out that Roslovic had an awful game is in such bad taste.

Expect the worst, you’ll never be disappointed.
I think Maurice is very much into maintaining power structures/hierarchies. IMO, he is quick to take young players down, when they are beginning to break out (Ehlers, Roslovic... ), and threatening the position of his favorites (such as Scheifele, Wheeler), who - in turn - helps him control the room.
I think the situation about the PP setup today was quite telling and - honestly - embarrassing for Maurice.

Your right -- we should be happy about the win --I know I am, but the 2nd part of my question was --should we be happy about the way the Jet's are playing right now ? --answer is "no."

I disagree-it was classless-especially since Scheif and Wheeler played worse, especially Scheif. Those two have been beyond reproach for so long, and sooner or later it will cause a significant rift in the dressing room.
_____________________________________________
I think your right -- Maurice needs to start calling out Wheeler and Scheifele, but I don't think he has the stones to do that --he's a little intimidated by them --and they run the team.
This is not a good sign for a coach -- a championship coach should be the "boss" and call the shots --and the players should respect him , but they don't have to like him. Maurice is to worried about being liked IMO.

You are actually making a point here against Maurice. Boston is a much more successful team because the coach holds the ENTIRE team accountable-including his vets. Everyone is accountable. I think Maurice could actually take notes here.
