Gotta admit, after thirty combined years of NHL hockey in Winnipeg and not a single banner in the rafters to show for it yet, I'd take that any day
As for Bowness and Arniel, both have dramatically exceeded expectations. It's kind of crazy, the mood was fairly sombre when both were hired, but Arniel is turning that on its head the same way that Bowness did.
Also helps that Dean Chynoweth was brought in as an assistant coach to deal with the special teams tire fire that was happening under Brad Lauer. Major improvements already.
