Another great show. Agree with your takes that we need to dial back the angst and give Arniel a chance.

[@illegalcurvehockey]

Thanks Leslie. Fact is nobody knows what the outcome will be. Otherwise what’s the point of playing the games in the first place…have a great weekend

Hey IC boys, checking in late as usual as mornings aren't my strong suit... excellent coverage as always.. I'm happy with getting Arnie in as coach. Our boys are not the easiest to coach as we have plenty of personalities in the locker room that vie for attention... but the core and the leadership of our Captain and Asst Captains is, for the most part, exemplary. Watching with optimism to see who is brought in to coach the special teams this season as they need to be better. Have a great weekend and thanks for what you do to bring this show to us on a weekly basis.

Good evening crew

I think we should have went a Evason/Nelson Arniel we get coached Moose,Ended playing Career Moose IHL and Jets in 80s,Hawerchuk in cornwall in junior. But has been allowed to be good cop to bowness bad cop and unfortunately you just can switch to hard all the sudden and we know how locker room was/players bad habbits with Maurice. It definitely seems highly likely that happens again. I think fans get upset Chipman runs jets like a mom and pop shop tbey dont move guys im even doubtful they move Pionk/Schmidt/Stanley. They show huge amount loyalty to players and Chevy. But i do think he pushes youth into roster Mcgroarty after NCAA,Lamber,Chibrikov,Heinola gives Salmonsson look.

Who's going to be his assistants with him behind the bench

[@darwinmoar1230]

How long did Scott sign for to become head coach

[@darwinmoar1230]

How come Bones didn't play Laurent Broissoit to much in the damn playoffs

[@darwinmoar1230]

Scott should bring in Phil Housley as his defensive coach and I don't know for the power play coach

[@GermanFrisbeeDog]

To much angst for just coaching.

[@patrickgoulet8170]

Mike commodore always "getting screwed" by coaches, has the nerve to call them loser but really he just lucked out one year and was on a team that went on a run. If he was worth anything maybe he still be involved with the game instead of running his mouth. Scott played more NHL games than Mike btw.

[@tconapauli1630]

GOOD SHOW DONT MIND ARNIE GETTN A CHANCE BUT NOT SURE HE THE GUY TO TAKE JETS TO NXT LEVEL HOPE IM WRONG TIME WILL TELL CERTAINLY HOPE N FEEL HE MAY PLAY THE YOUTH A LIL MORE THAT SAID ALLWAYS THOUGHT COMMODORE A CLOWN 🤡 😂🎉😅 COULD BERRY BE BROUGHT IN FOR SPECIAL TEAMS??

[@darwinmoar1230]

Where's Ezra

[@darwinmoar1230]

Ask Ducky about Scott Arniel but now he can't. Because he passed away.

Rinse and repeat. Hope that works. Need way better speciality teams or team is doomed again. Thought a fresh voice would help. Hope I’m wrong.

[@rudeboy4710]

Not sure about this hire. Hope the lousy pk and the in game management (game planning) improves immensely. Arniel also was responsible for playing struggling players in positions where they can’t succeed. Tnse and nepotism go hand in hand. What associate coach do they know from the past that they can now bring in? So they went on l information gathering sessions rather than conducting real interviews? Optically this just looks bad! I truly hope I’m wrong and only time will tell

[@darwinmoar1230]

Chevy has to go

[@KTHOR27]

He does, but we know it's not going to happen. Chipman is not proving anything to anybody. Not going to win a cup with his approach.
