News Article: Paul Maurice resigns

[Mud Turtle]

I am very much looking forward to seeing how Scheifele reacts to this.
If we see the old Scheifele back tonight, I think that gives us a little window into what was happening.

Well that's coach number one gone (he inherited Noel). How many does Chevy get?
Good to see him make the move now instead of after the season.
Does Lowry get Scheif to play D half-assed? Does Ehlers pick his game up?

PLD, KC, Ehlers and Scheif all going at the same time would be nice to see.

I found this reference of fathers who have coached their sons in the NHL:

Name	Father	Son	Seasons	Team
Abel	Sid	Gerry	1966-67	Detroit Red Wings
Dineen	Bill	Kevin	1991-92,92-93	Philadelphia Flyers
Geoffrion	Bernie	Dan	1979-80	Montreal Canadiens
Patrick	Lester	Lynn	1934-35 - 1938-39	New York Rangers
Patrick	Lester	Muzz	1937-38,38-39	New York Rangers
Patrick	Lynn	Craig	1974-75	St. Louis Blues

Good work. How about those Patrick's?

If real, it's a Xmas miracle!!!!

Yeah, my first thought when I heard the news was It's a Christmas Miracle!!! I just don't know how well the team will get back on track with Lowry as interim head coach. I just think a new voice from the outside is needed.

 

[kylbaz]

saw this

i agree. they were loyal to maurice to long, and maurice basically saw the ceiling of where he can take the team himself

Paul said if you dumbasses can't fire me I'll resign, even I can see it's not working!

 

[JetsFan815]

that is for public consumption.....yo have no idea what went on behind the scenes

Certainly not as infallible as your insight to the contrary based on twitter threads from @WorldOfWarcraft6969

 

[kylbaz]

I was told on this board that Leah Hextall is only involved in the league because of her family and she's awful.

More than likely true

17 pages in this thread already.

I'm going to skim through it.

thank you …….

 

[SUX2BU]

You're very close, and I correct not to upbraid, but because it's even better than you remembered it

"Self, you're a sick man for trying to make logic of this".

(A statement I've told my own self many a time at the poker table since )

Starts at 2:25. Or heck, just play the whole thing, it's awesome

some good quotes there

Noel at least didn’t mince words on team performance

 

[rkp]

have to wonder......... a few seasons back, wheeler adamantly stated to media, to paraphrase, he didnt want to play for any other coach....wonder what his thoughts are now, taking into account his contract and age if he still feels the same!

 

[AlphaLackey]

He’s doing it to save face… better to be seen retiring than being fired

He's also completely owning up to his lack of ability to do the job as the reason why this was happening, and that it was the best thing for the team that he did so. That takes a profound amount of courage. And even if he was sure to be fired, so what? The people on Flight 93 knew they were sure to die, and yet they gave up their phantom of hope-against-hope, the last thing that could possibly have comforted them, and saved hundreds of lives in the process.

It's not easy to do what Maurice did, even moreso to do it the way he did it.

never mind 55...how about wheeler....remember his comment about not wanting to play for another coach a few seasons back

 

[Dirtyclapper]

Last thing I'll say on this for now.. Seems like this could be a really bad ending with Adam Lowry leaving the jets eventually because of a move for me that looks very unprofessional. Like peewee hockey shit. I'll try to not be too negative but I got a bad feeling.

Well, since one Christmas Miracle already happened (PoMo is gone), why not hope for another Miracle while we're at it...

 

[larmex99]

don't think so. I heard he disliked the political views of the locker room and guys were really lax with covid.

Source? Probably HF poster. Lol

There is no shield any longer, of they don't turn it around and his play doesn't improve people will be looking squarely at him.

[Adam da bomb]

Hopefully Ehlers and schief can get it going as they could be great together.

Yup he came out and took accountability and did it infront of everyone.

I respect that a lot. Not everyone can admit their mistakes.

As mentioned earlier I hope he lands on his feet whenever he wants to. Or if he wishes to retire now and enjoy his life with his family then I wish him well doing that.

I suspect that there's some substance to that one actually.

 

[tbcwpg]

I imagine he will be in the lineup when he returns from injury.
