[Dreger] Scott Arniel est le nouvel entraîneur-chef des @NHLJets. Winnipeg a mené des entrevues avec les meilleurs candidats, même si Arniel était considéré comme un favori au début du processus. Arniel est très respecté par les joueurs et a mérité une autre chance de devenir entraîneur-chef de la LNH.

A shocking development. Who could’ve seen this coming
Can we please overhaul the special teams coaches at least?
That’s crazy
At face value. Two years ago to today, the team is better. How much does Arniel have to do with that? Iunno. Chevy gotta do something with the roster this summer tho so maybe better this is out of the way and he can get buying out and trading so he can get back to the hammock by July.
I don’t think there’s a team in the league more committed to being mediocre. Way to be bold TNSE.
Lol, they couldn’t have picked a shittier day to announce this. Ugh, whatever, let’s start the season already!
womp womp
We’re a team
Now let him hire a new staff and pls don’t keep anyone besides the goalie coach!
This was the exact text from Chipman to Dregar
First test is what he does with the asst. coaches…
[Now official from the team ](https://www.nhl.com/jets/news/scott-arniel-appointed-winnipeg-jets-head-coach)

*eyeroll*
Well, I guess it can’t be worse than whatever used parts are left in the NHL coaching bullpen.
Hope someone clips this in a year when he’s done an amazing job and we’re in the 2025 WCF.
LFG!
He loves the city, loves the Jets and knows more about the game than anyone here and probably any of the other candidates out there. Let’s see what he can do.
It’s funny that we make fun of the league for rehashing the same 6 coaches as they get fired/rehired within 3 months, but then scoff at a new guy getting into the league. A guy that ran the bench this year for an extended period of time with success.
It’s like we can never be happy man.
“All in”
Sigh
Figured as much, whatever bring us a cup.
Interesting that they announced this late on a Friday afternoon which is usually bad news dumping time. It makes them look ashamed of it.
If they are proud of this news, why wouldn’t they make the announcement at 10 am?
🫡
Way to go ARNIE .
This guy has major respect around the league.
I love it. Maybe mostly due to all the pissing and moaning in here. I wasn’t raised right.
I’m excited to see what he can do with the team!
So more of the same? Mmmm
I’ll only accept this if they say they asked everyone else and nobody would come to Winnipeg.
A little disappointing but if the assistant coaches are changed too then maybe we’ll come out ahead. If Lauer’s back it’s extremely disappointing.
What happened with Todd Nelson?
My feelings are basically this

Not surprised. It would be interesting if there are changes now that he’s full on head coach, but I expect another 1st round exit.
He was hired as the heir apparent, so this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.
This has been in the drafts since before they hired Bowness. I have zero expectations and zero excitement. Many GMs don’t have the luxury of going through 4.5 head coaches, so hopefully Chevy’s seat is warm enough to get us some defensemen
I mean look at how well the loyalty and owner/former player man crush system did for the Oilers from 1999-2009
Fuck
Join us tomorrow on IC from 9 AM to 11 AM CDT to discuss the hiring and share your thoughts [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFiB0gy0E_Q).
Bahahaha. Due diligence my ass.
I’ll hope for the best like always but there is nothing that made him the best candidate. Such BS.
SHOCKING NEWS
This is fuckin trash and I’m going to be negative about it.
