July 1, 20223 yr comment_573784 man he wasn't even on the finalist list, an interesting twist to the saga
July 1, 20223 yr comment_573787 He obviously was. He just wasn't on the list that some media guys thought existed Solid hire in My opinion. The lesson here is don't always believe people just cuz Twitter. Edited July 1, 20223 yr by Goalie
July 1, 20223 yr comment_573788 oh I see now and it's now official, welcome back Bowness (and maybe Scott Arniel too?) Edited July 1, 20223 yr by iHeart
July 1, 20223 yr comment_573790 I'd forgotten about Bowness and I guess he'd said he was leaning toward retirement, but IMO this was the best option still available....
July 1, 20223 yr comment_573798 oh I just realized something wait still have to wait and find out who will be replacing Beyak

Maybe Leah too. Edited July 1, 20223 yr by Goalie
July 1, 20223 yr comment_573809 I wonder if 1 of the assistants is Brock Sheahan with the Chicago Steel of the ushl. Was linked to be part of Trotzs staff also Bowness Sheahan Arniel Flaherty is decent. Add a woman tho to the staff Kori Cheverie looks like a good option. She's solid

July 1, 20223 yr comment_573819 Well a recycled coach but better than Tocchet imo...welcome aboard Mr Bowness.

He certainly is not a long term replacement at age 67. Maybe Trotz talked to them about needing a year off to re-charge (he still will get paid by the Isles for another season) so Bowness is a filler until Trotz decides to come back or Arniel gets promoted in a year or two.
July 1, 20223 yr Author comment_573826 The only positive i can spin is that of all the coaches who coached a team most like the Jets, it's Bowness. Dallas was good Winnipeg.
July 2, 20223 yr comment_573896 So they signed the left over scraps. Old and not a great track record. I'm guessing they are planning to gut the team and acquire early draft picks for a full rebuild?

July 2, 20223 yr comment_573925 Yes complain. It's what ppl do always. Doesn't matter who they would have hired besides trotz, ppl would still complain. I've recently deleted my hfboards account cuz it's constant crap from the same people. The negativity is so beyond tiring

July 2, 20223 yr comment_573941 Defensive minded coach is what we need,help take so many shots off Hellebyck but I've heard many Dallas fans say his offensive game is dump and chase. I don't mind this signing and it's even better if Reynolds is right and this is just kind of a bridge coach.

When I see hockey coaches huddling over the ipad during a game.... I chuckle. " see this mcdavid guy? hes really fast. watch out for him." I suspect the quality needed, is the ability to get the players to do what they are asked. not easy. Edited July 2, 20223 yr by Mark F

July 3, 20223 yr comment_574042 well I wasn't around when he coached the first time around (hell my parents were still engaged when he was coaching)
