Jets' Maurice after allowing 7 goals: 'We were horses--t'

Paul Maurice has seen better nights.

The Winnipeg Jets coach could only watch as his club laid an egg versus the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night in a 7-4 loss.

The Jets looked complacent from the opening faceoff, as Phillip Danault gave the Habs a lead just 57 seconds into the first period.

Suffice to say, Maurice did not appreciate his team's lack of effort.

Maurice: We were horseshit right from the drop of the first puck to the end of it. (Wasn't the only clip broadcasters can't use tonight)

Despite producing four goals of their own, the Jets let Montreal score six times at even strength on a night when a win would have pushed Winnipeg into a playoff spot - and Maurice wasn't the only one left disappointed.

"We're not happy about it," Jets forward Drew Stafford said. "It's one of those games where we have to take a look at ourselves and re-evaluate."

Now, the Jets embark on a crucial three-game road trip which begins Friday in Arizona.
