Confirmed with Link: Scott Arniel named Winnipeg Jets head coach

[CorgisPer60]

So far, the only thing I've taken from this presser: Scott has a plan for each and every player, and that they weren't looking to reinvent the wheel. He's said he's learned from the Columbus days, which is good. I'm trying not to be negative. Good that they're addressing the special teams. Didn't really like his answer to analytics, though. Looks more like feel-based coaching instead of data-driven.

"Try harder." is the overarching message I'm taking.

Arniel: The kids have to be ready and prove that they're ready to be NHL players.

Cheveldayoff: Sometimes the best decisions (coaching search) come from within.

Arniel addressing the "5-10% better" metric, pushing it mostly towards the players driving themselves, and the leadership group taking the reins.

Brad Lauer is gone! Yes! We get squeaky clean new special teams coaching now.

I like that he owned the special teams even if he was only one part of it.

Best of luck to Brad Lauer. Maybe back to the WHL

Best news of the offseason so far!

We're expanding and integrating analytics a lot more... just let us trade our top analytics player first.

What a way to cap off my 4 day weekend. Thank f***ing god.

 

[CorgisPer60]

So they aren't going to change much about how they use analytics.

Ok, Scott. This is your second chance. Prove that you earned it.

Best news of the offseason so far!

Looks like he's getting the autonomy we wanted to fill out his staff.

I got in half way through so I'll have to listen to the whole thing later. But he came across much more progressive then I thought he'd be. Glad he's planning on being big into analytics and wanting to be ahead of the curve.

Also happy that he's focused on brining in someone to run the pp and will get to choose his assistants. Also glad he's got a lot of interest for those positions and is open to different things for those roles.

Interviewing Chevy about anything is a fool's errand. I get better answers out of my Andrew Ladd bobblehead.

What did Pascal Vincent do here as an assistant

Good start - wouldn't it be nice to have a power play

Now all we have to do is fire the guy that was in charge of the pk.

Good news for the Jets.. lets see what transpires next. Any bets on former CBJ coaches joining the Jets?

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Lauer gone? Colour me surprised. Genuinely even.

So much for my second prediction *grumble grumble*

 

[Hobble]

goodbye lauerplay, hello power play

 

[Buffdog]

There's some pushback to the "10%" and the "try harder" but people don't realize that that's what the margin is for success in the NHL

I'll compare it to running... imagine these three scenarios for a trained, experienced runner:

Scenario 1: runner goes out for a nice light jog to enjoy the day. Doesn't time themselves or track heartbeat. Just a quick run for fun

Scenario 2: Race day. Runner has put in the training and time and is looking to set a new personal best

Scenario 3: runner is being chased by a guy with a knife

You can see that the exertion levels put forth by this runner won't be the same in all three scenarios. The runner's ability or fitness level won't change over the course of the three, but his intensity will

When it comes to the NHL, Scenario 1 is the preseason, Scenario 2 is the regular season and Scenario 3 is the playoffs

The Jets showed up for game one ready for "race day" and the Avs had their knives out

No amount of line up shuffling or line combos will make a difference until the team learns that distinction.

I try hard not to be negative, but you have to have team buy in to change anything. I’ll believe that our pp will improve when I see it on a consistent basis.
