    Tucker Carlson??  Tucker ******* Carlson?!!!! That guy might be the biggest asshat that has ever lived.  Nothing he spouts can be considered ‘information’.

I don't think I've told this story before, but I actually met Arniel 25 years ago back when was playing for the Moose, I don't know what was going on that February (I checked with my mother it had to do with Children's Rehabilitation) but I was brought onto the ice, he gave me a pennant autographed by the team (they actually won that game think it was in OT)

This is really shocking news. They even went through the process of interviewing others when it was already determined. 

Did they though?  I wonder how those interviews went?

Prospective coach (other than Arniel): let's be honest guys, are you really interested in anyone but Scotty A?

Chevy: Yeah, yeah for sure

Prospective coach:  Really?

Chevy:  No, not really.  We are deliberately wasting your time..."audible sigh"...line click...dial tone...

Not surprised. Lots going on in his personal life. Enjoy retirement, Bones. 

Bring on Arniel. Seems like it's taken forever for the timing right on this one. 

Again, no surprise. Anyone who has paid attention to TNSE knows that they're loyal to "their" guys even if it means blaming the fans for not buying up all the tickets, rather than looking in the mirror. 

Cue the Principal Skinner meme, no it's the fans that are out of touch.

Is it all about coaching though? A system COMBINED with the proper talent to perfom it successfully is what it takes to win consistently. That consistency INCLUDES playoff performance. This crew (many of the main players) has now had 3 different coaches and the playoff results have been similar (save for one season 2018). Depending how this works out (and I'm willing to give Arniel a chance) maybe it'll be time for True North to replace the GM position (to address personal needs in a different way perhaps). I'm not holding my breath about that part, but as the Bombers showed, when things aren't going well (3-15 in 2013), a house cleaning including players can work wonders ...

who else do we have from Jets 1.0 ready to go as our next coach after Arniel inevitably fails?  Doug Smail?  Tim Watters?  Pierre Hamel?

Mark Chipman should just coach the team since he’s the guy making the decisions always. Ppl want a new gm. Like he’d have any say. This is chipmans team. The bombers are Winnipeg’s team. The jets are chipmans. Bottom line.

TBF Hawerchuk wanted out. 

This move netted us a pretty good d-man in Housley that worked well with Selanne. My disrespect for Smith is not really for this move but his general ineptitude ...

This was the low point for Smith for me.  Drafting Sergie Bautin in the first round when no one even knew who he was.   Then the draft believes they drafted Sergei Brylin, which was wrong, because they were scrambling. 

Bautin's NHL stats?  In 2 years played 130 games.  5 Goals, 25 assists (30 points).

Brylin, had that been who we had drafted, at least had a 13 year career with the devils.    Drafted in the 2nd round by the devils.
