VOLUME YOU A$$HAT$
Don’t start asking about the Future of Rick Bowness . He’s not going out like this,
You may want to start thinking
Aidin Hill spanked you as far as goaltending performances. Jordan Binington,out played you in the playoffs. You are no Patrick Roy,Martin Brodeur,Chris Osgood, Marc Andre Fleury. All these guys played the best hockey of their lives and won. In some cases multiple times, get over yourself.
Retirement
Best hockey of your career? I mean I don't think the series loss is on him, but come on Helle that's ridiculous. This sounds just like when Wheeler was here. When are the Jets big guns gonna take some accountability?
Defence sucked big time! Players left alone. Defensive zone structure sucked. Avs ran around our end all shifts. We collapsed around Helly and couldn’t move the puck out or gave it up before it crossed the blue line. We left him out to dry. Defence was an issue last year. They did nothing. Pionk, Logan, and others crspped the bed. Bones stuck to a failing lines.
Maybe Rick doesn't want to come back to Winnipeg. The feelings would be mutual, I suspect.
Three consecutive years of making the postseason (two teams) only to get bounced in the first round. Chevy gave this guy a MORE than competent roster and he let the guys drown.
Idk what hockey was like more than thirty years ago against the likes of Gretzky and Lemieux, but in today's modern NHL you are NOT going to win hockey games by solely focusing on containing players like McDavid and MacKinnon, it's a fool's errand. It's tantamount to trying to force a lid down on a boiling pot.
Bednar adapted and made changes, Cassidy adapted and made changes. Only reason the Stars made it to game 7 in 2022 was because like Bowness, Sutter was also a bonehead who didn't adapt and make changes, and that series could've gone either way.
Bones has unfinished business. I guarantee he is back for 1 more season.
Retreads like bowness are set in their ways. Most GMs have an hands off approach to dealing with head coach’s strategy and won’t interfere during the playoffs by ordering his head coach to do this and that. When the team is ousted from the playoffs, they conveniently make him the blame guy.
Rick Bowness was fired by Dallas for valid reasons after taking them to a Cup Final. GM Chevy hired him warts and all. Bones will not change his coaching style just like a leopard cannot change its spots.
He's a good coach
Chevy had Chisolm and let him go for nothing.
Whole coaching staff needs to go, Worst special teams all year. Trade Ehlers for a top 4 D man. Stanley needs to sit, pionk needs to be replaced
Winnipeg are screwed… how are they gonna compete year in, year out in the Central? Colorado are going to the final against Florida.
OH, There is going to be alot of BS stories about every thing so get used it!!!
I thought Winnipeg had a good goalie ?
Dregs….Run me a bubble bath 😂
Jack Adams nominee
William Jennings trophy winning team
Top 5 finish
Named Lowry the new captain
Changed the room culture
But unfortunately ran into a buzz saw looking for revenge for a very disappointing 23 playoffs.
