It makes perfect sense with the leaks that Chevy signed months ago and Maurice's terms are unknown. I'd expect Maurice is just a one year extension to ensure he's not a 'lame duck' and Chevy was never going to get fired/be at any risk for his job for at least another season. The draft and develop strategy when the Jets came back was not only Chevy it was the Chevy/Chipman plan, Chipman isn't going to fire Chevy the season before it's all supposed to come together.

I expect Maurice's leash to be incredibly short this season, Chevy has to know that if he hitches his wagon to Maurice he probably won't get another chance at picking who the next coach is if Maurice stumbles and Chevy backs him all year.

Chevy shouldn't get another chance at hiring another coach. He's the 10th most tenured GM and in his time at the helm they've made the playoffs once and won a total of 0 playoff games, and while the future is bright, it honestly feels like we've been saying that for a while about Winnipeg. I get that he's a family friend or something, but gently caress.

I just wish it was more of a judgement call. If an offsides happens and then a goal happens a minute later who gives a gently caress, y'know?

They should just disallow goals that are caused as a direct immediate (or near immediate) result of the offsides.

This is how I feel too. If somebody comes in offside and scores immeadiately it shouldn't count. But if it goes behind the net, to the half wall, to the point, to the front of the net, back to the point and the goes in 90 seconds later, gently caress it, count that poo poo.

Also offside reviews take too loving long and slow things down.

The Jets were probably in the worst position in the league when he took over, they had an awful prospect pool and like 6 legitimate NHL talents on the roster. He's built the team on the fly and never really tanked and I think he's done pretty good work with the draft and free agency at least. Chevy deserves a chance at seeing what the team he built can do, if the Jets are awful again then he'll probably be out soon, I don't really expect that to happen though the Jets to me have a very solid roster

Ehlers - Scheifele - Laine
Connor -Little - Wheeler
Perreault - Lowry - Armia
Hendricks - Copp - Dano

Morrissey - Trouba
Kulikov - Byfuglien
Enstrom - Myers

Stempniak gets traded at the deadline it seems like every year so I gotta give this one to him.

No kidding. I always want the Pens to nab him up for scraps and looking on his wiki page I see that he already did in the 13-14 season and I just have zero memory of this for some reason.

Also that Bennett contract is really good.

And those Jets lines look really good, too. Shame that Myers never got his rookie form back. I imagine he'll be taking a major pay cut if he wants to stick around in 2 years.

Two inches on or offside is such a minor factor in the game it should never be reviewable. Let the refs call it as they see it and move on with life because if you get scored on I guarantee the fuckup was somewhere else on the ice and you just looking for excuses.

Then pay attention to poo poo that actually makes the game stupid, like defensive zone delay of game or defensive interference on a dump in.

Change the goddamned offside calls to plane of the blueline and not the skate having contact on the ice. I know this is reversing like 100 years of tradition or some poo poo but it would make offsides challenges about 10 million times faster.

Ya, the Jets look fine to me on paper but I don't see them being a playoff team just because of the division. Mason probably helps, maybe Laine becomes a 50 goal scorer, and maybe Connor turns out to be a star too, but that's a lot of maybes and right now the only team they're clearly better than in that division is Colorado. I'd say Winnipeg probably falls somewhere in the 4-6 range for that division and that's tough when a max of 5 teams could make the playoffs, especially since the Pacific has been getting better as well making "The Central sends 5 teams every year" less of a guarantee.

I have no idea why people are in favour of this idea, it just shifts the issue forward a few inches. At least touching the ice is cut and dry. Trying to figure out if a skate blade floating in space is technically over the blue line or not with television cameras is drat near impossible. They can't even consistently do it with the goal line and that's approximately 1/10th the size and has a camera pointing directly down on it from above.

That's a step in the right direction, but you know every close call is going to go the coach's way so the refs can't be accused of deciding the game

They don't use the TV feeds. They look at cameras in line with the blue lines.

The broadcasts always try to figure it out with TV feeds while they're waiting for the decision, but that's because they don't have access to the blue line camera feeds.

Chevy's biggest failing was signing Pavelec. That alone should put his job on the line, because average goaltending probably would have got the Jets into the playoffs at least twice more.

Actually the Jets were really good against the Central last year. The only central team they had a losing record against was Minnesota. Laine scored a hat trick every time they played Dallas.

The most repeatable save percentage is apparently all situations. Save percentage has got poo poo repeatability. Short handed is pretty random though.

The NHL war room uses a bunch of sources of footage including the blue line cameras to determine offsides and other reviews.

They're not great (partially because there's a good chance a linesman or player/players will be blocking one or both of them at any given time, plus it's still not easy to tell. It's not like the cameras send out a laser that can tell exactly where a foot is in 3D space.

I've used this example before but it's the only clear shot of blueline camera footage the NHL has ever released. Going with "blue line is a plane" rule, is this guy onside or offside here?

https://twitter.com/PR_NHL/status/720432196201394176

It's clearly offside with the "foot touching the blueline" thing, but it's now a nightmare with regards to the blueline being a plane. It's hardly the quick fix solution people seem to think it will be. It'll lead to just as long and complicated reviews, and would mean changing a decades old rule. So why bother?

linesmen stop dead on the blue line as well, usually rendering at least 1 of the cameras useless
