missioncanucksfan Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Is my memory bad? Seems to me Noel was coaching the Moose and had a lot of success developing guys for us. Even running the same system as AV so guys were fully tuned up in callups... Edler, Hamhuis, Bieksa etc all missed like 20 games and whomever (notably Tanev) we brought up just did fine... for the players that Av was coaching in the end....HE was their first coach in Winnipeg. After that I believe it was Scott Arniel who coached the rest of the way until Claude coached one last season before the Jets returned. We plucked Hamhuis as a UFA from Gashville.

sam13371337 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 the jets franchise is not off to a good start it seems.. cant see them making the playoffs for a few years. and its only a matter of time before the honeymoon period ends, normal market forces take over, And the questions of team viability return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Haven't watched too many Jets games this year, but I would guess that it is hardly his fault. Cheveldayoff built the team. Or at least, is trying to. Scapegoat Jets fans? It's my understanding from watching the Jets situation that Noel had clearly been mismanaging his players on the ice. Management has not built a strong team but there are some good pieces and some up and coming players as well. Burmistrov was a prime example of a player being mismanaged, there is no excuse for letting a player like that walk . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Haven't watched too many Jets games this year, but I would guess that it is hardly his fault. Cheveldayoff built the team. Or at least, is trying to. Scapegoat Jets fans? I am far from an insider, but here is my take... Noel was getting credible performances from players like Little, Wheeler, Ladd. These guys are honest hockey players, but hardly NHL superstars. Enstrom developed nicely and they did get some numbers from Bogo, Kane and other young guys, Hainsey was alrite for a veteran... Winnipeg's problem is they are too heavily invested in talented guys with attitude issues. Their best player shows up 40 lbs overweight at times. Jokinen is rumoured to be a room killer. Kane has a posse, lol. They had Burmistrov, Setogouchi, Antropov, gym rat Kyle Wellwood... They would be better off filling their team with guys that are great athletes, perhaps not as talented, but willing to fill roles and play for the team. So then they throw too much money at their honest hockey players, plus Kane. Winnipeg gave out big contracts to Little, Wheeler, Bogosian, Enstrom this past summer. Too big, even though they are otherwise good guys, plus Kane. Everything suggested their GM was trying to hold it together when he had not provided substance behind them. But hey, they spent big money and somebody had to be the scapegoat. In my opinion those guys all came around nicely, which does not speak to the coach. They really just need another cycle to let the coach develop guys to replace all the idiots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I went to the game last night and they were terrible defensively. Similar problems to Edmonton where there's inconsistent goaltending, a lack of a solid defensive system, and too much individuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLemming Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I just simply don't think Noël is an NHL head coach. He was very good in the AHL and he might be a good assistant, but it's like he easily got out coached in the NHL and didn't know how to bring his team together when they were struggling. They needed someone else to put the puzzle together as Noël couldn't figure it out (to be fair, it's a really tough team to work with). Plus they needed to solve the rumoured Noël-Kane issues. Firing Noël was something Chevy wanted to avoid and kept putting off, hopefully this means he's ready to make a significant trade as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 He's just the Goat. The jets weren't terribly coached they just suck. I hope he gets a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that I believe it was Scott Arniel who coached the rest of the way until Claude coached one last season before the Jets returned. We plucked Hamhuis as a UFA from Gashville. I double checked. Noel was indeed coach of the Moose in 2010/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Why would you want them to end? I would love Kane in Van Fans were happy at first when we first signed Messier. The Canucks have mental issues already. How do you think Tort's will react if Kane gives him attitude? He'll go Mike Singletary on him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckofSteel Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I don't know what they're thinking in Winnipeg, but you can't just take the crappy team from Atlanta move it to Winnipeg and expect different results. I get a lot of players don't want to play in that city, but they have to try and add a couple good players instead of scraps. If I was a Jets fan, I would pretty fed up with the job Cheveldayoff is doing. I know it's hard to make moves in the NHL, but at some point a guy like Byfuglien or Little has got to be traded.

DeNiro Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 If there's any two coaches that are the most alike, it's Maurice and Noel. Listening to both of them, you would swear they were the same guy. Both very dry and monotone when they speak. I really don't see this doing much to help the Jets. They need someone to come in there and kick their butts into shape. Laviolette would have been my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight Sparkle Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 why not get Peter Laviolette? i would think he doesn't want to be a transitional coach and wants a long term gig. i guess when maurice finishes the year, we'll see where the jets go as far as noel goes, he's a good guy, but that team tuned him out a long time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
