Kevin Sawyer just had an orgasm.Payne was a teammate on the Providence Bruins with Kevin Sawyer. Cannot wait to hear that every game now.

lol, this is from like 15 years ago. how meaningful is this or have any sort of bearing in 2024 when he is an Assistant.Looking at the Hockeyviz coaching impact charts, and Davis Payne was a strong head coach, and he was also a very bad head coach the next season. Illustrates how difficult it is to fully evaluate a coach's impact when teams are in flux and not very talented...

Thanks for making me imagine what bizarre Sawyer analogies he would use to describe that.Kevin Sawyer just had an orgasm.
A lot I suspect.I am curious how much Chipman influenced this. He has publicly thrown his support for Scott before.
He got locked out of a room in Columbus. That's impressive for only a season and a half!The Calder Cup Final was in 2008....how many NHLers are still in the league form 2008? Lol
He's got a losing record as a head coach in the NHL. His assistant coach accolades don't take away from the fact he has been an awful head coach.
There is a reason CBJ fans are laughing at us.
Yup, took all the best parts of the bones tenure and improved everywhere else so far. I have some crow to eat, I was wanting Mr Outside hireSo far I like what I've seen from Arniel, even though it's extremely early to say so. The solid defensive play looks to have been maintained and the things that needed improving (THE POWER PLAY) have improved so far.
I'm optimistic, but again it's too early to say anything otherwise.
Yup it's a long season and this team has shown a propensity to fade as the season gets tougher.I’m reserving my judgement after the doldrums of month 4 is here.
The one big change I've noticed that Arniel has made from Bone's system is that they're backing off into a 1-2-2 in the neutral zone when they turn the puck over in the offensive zone instead of working like madmen trying to get the puck backYup it's a long season and this team has shown a propensity to fade as the season gets tougher.
Of course the only season that really matters is the playoffs. I'll reserve judgement after the cup is awarded

I'm hoping that will preserve some energy and they won't fade as hard as the season rolls on as they did the couple of years under Bones
I feel your statement, but in his defense at what point is it not the coaches but the players that are the problem... Too easy to lay the blame at the feet of coaches sometimes.Yup it's a long season and this team has shown a propensity to fade as the season gets tougher.

I was saying "Boo-urns".I remember when Maurice left some Jets analytics heros on Twitter were saying they shouldn't hire Arniel and they should hire Pascal Vincent. Same guys were saying to blow it up.
I nominate this for HFJets post of rhe seasonI imagine this is how a banana must feel.
It waits its entire life, just waiting to be picked from the tree. As it grows up, it sees all the older bananas get picked. Brother Banana, Sister Banana, and the whole Banana Brood goes before them, and the banana is hopeful to see what happens when it's finally their day to be picked.
It's only when they are picked that they realize that they're simply going to be chopped up to used in a delicious peanut butter and banana sandwich. Their disappointment must surely be immeasurable; their day is ruined.
That's a pretty solid metaphor for how I'm feeling about this coaching hire. In fact, I don't think it is humanly possible to describe it any better.
Yesss!!!AHL Apples, AHL rink, AHL head coach Arniel!
Listened to Scott's interview on Winnipeg Sports talk radio and I thought he did a good job. Talked about his journey, what has changed about the league, and more importantly about himself since his last shot. Very open and candid.
I’ll be cheering for him and I guess we shall see how it plays out.
AHL SipowiczYesss!!!
the AHL official opposition leader!AHL Sipowicz
Everyone appreciates you old horse.AHL Sipowicz
Yes, absolutely. I realize that many pundits assess Improvement in team record the previous year to the current year, and this might weaken his case, but he is obviously a great coach when he's got the horses.Scott Arniel has to be strongly considered for the Jack Adams
Hopefully there’s more silverware he can bring the organization and global Jets fandom yet
But at the very least give the man a vote for the Jack Adams!
