It blows my mind that some people are still saying it's not time for Maurice to go.

I think some of the mothers better have a talk with potty mouth Maurice, also he is crazy delusional if he thought the team played the way he thinks they played

What if the new coach makes Wheeler into a 100 point man ... would you want to trade him?

Thanks for completely mismanaging the roster Chevy. Nowhere else in the league could you get away with what he has done (not done) and still have a job.
Yeah him throwing his team under the bus won't help his cause at this point in time.

The other GMs can use cap space of injured players because there is some certainty around their situation that they won't be returning to play in the middle of the season (eg David Clarkson, Nathan Horton). With the Jets situation there is no certainty. Chevy can technically trade for another 7 million dollar player (or multiple players that add up to that amount) right now however he won't because if the Buff situations resolves with him being cleared to play then the Jets would screwed and caught with their pants down being over ~6million above the cap and needing to emergently dump players to become cap compliant, basically in a position to get taken advantage of by other GMs.

I think because it is in front of an arbitrator the rules are not as cut and dry as we would like.

The quote about the slow start was edited out of the post game interview that I saw.
I'm not sure Maurice was watching the right team. That comment is something else.
Edit: Unless he's saying the slow start didn't matter and it wasn't just a slow start and that they were slow all game
Kind of goes against him saying they played their asses off though if that's the case

Of the top 5 forwards he would be the best candidate to trade except he has a NMC and he has $$$ and term. He is untradeable.

What is he gonna say? Right!
He was not watching the same game though.
I think he knows he’s close to done here.

Yeah it’s Chevy who should go, not Maurice, but I think Maurice has to go just to stop the bleeding.

We were the worst in the leauge for expected goals for and expected goals against.....propped up by stupidly above avg goaltending.
Out top 6 is fine, our bottom six is fine, our d sucks but then again, what was the excuse last year? We were too good?
Its time this coaching staff was cleared out, im tired of saying it.

He would've needed a .966 to get it to OT and a 1.000 for the regulation win.

That’s the juggling GMs do these days. Someone is always bound to be injured, so cap relief comes and goes. If no relief is available, just keep Buff on LTIR until he’s 100% ready to play. (Which is unlikely this year). Do you think Toronto’s GM wouldn’t be using this cap space ? (Maybe a bad example
)

If the coach is fine losing 4-1 this just instills a culture of accepting losing that will be very difficult to overcome without a regime change. I honestly thought he was better than this.
But hey, it's amazing the renewed attitude that a couple of wins can bring. I haven't written these boys totally off yet. One ray of hope - gotta give props to Schief for finally dropping the mits.

I was afraid Scheifele may have cracked a knuckle on Pechie’s helmet, but he seems ok...
Let’s not get political.I think Maurice has now adopted the Donald Trump strategy. He now has his own version of the "facts" that unfortunately do not reflect reality.

No problem.... I’m just a country boy from Dauphin.
Thanks. I am a country boy from Morris.

Tarasenko is injured for the Blues has has been for a couple of months but the Blues are not putting his $7.5 million to use on another player. They can't just keep Buff on LTIR, if he is cleared to play, he has to be activated, Buff's agent, the NHLPA and the league would have something to say to the Jets if they weren't activating him for cap reasons. Season is long and Buff's injury was not a season ending one by any means, it is very likely he is cleared to play before April and even if there is a small chance that he would be cleared to play then no responsible GM is going to put their team in a position where they need to shed 7 million+ in capspace almost overnight in a situation where the rest of the league would basically have them by the balls.

The scary thing is that we don’t really have much coming up in great young players either. a few, but certainly not like our depth a few years ago. Not even close.
