Chadd 916 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 The Winnipeg Jets have fired Claude Noel and hired Paul Maurice. Hopefully the Jets organization gets things straightened out soon, they have been a disaster for a long time. http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/10282168/winnipeg-jets-dismiss-coach-claude-noel-hires-paul-maurice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ktang 34 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 Noel was Wilson-like and old Tortorella-like in the level of his negativity towards his players during his pressers. Yet he lasted so long as the coach. Is this the trend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadd 916 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 I was thinking they hired him over the summer, but that was Edmonton replacing Kruger. Bear with me, still dealing with a head injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bear with me, still dealing with a head injury. haha no worries. Feel better. I would have kept Kruger in Edmonton.

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted January 14, 2014 His best answer was in the afternoon. Reporter asks "What can we expect to see different tonight?" He says something like: "To be totally honest with you, I have no idea...I've been here for 4 hours"Talk about no BS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He says something like: "To be totally honest with you, I have no idea...I've been here for 4 hours" Talk about no BS!Exactly, thats exactly what I was talking about. No nonsense kind of guy. Also sounds like his time in the KHL was hugely beneficial for him as a coach. The Jets picked up a hell of a coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted January 22, 2014 Did you hear that before Noel left his office, he left a note to whoever the incoming coach was, wishing him luck and saying how much he thought of the City, the players and the fans in Winnipeg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted January 22, 2014 I did hear about that. Good on him. I liked him quite a bit and I really hope he finds work elsewhere. BTW on an unrelated note, gratz on hitting 10k posts, RadioGaGa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
