The Winnipeg Jets have officially been eliminated from the playoffs after a heartbreaking loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. With changes seeming all but guaranteed at this point, how will the dynamic between the players and their coach change?
Winnipeg Jets head coach Rick Bowness didn't have very many nice things to say about his team following their elimination to Vegas in the quarterfinals. His first year coaching in Winnipeg was met with plenty of pushback from players, as he shook up their leadership core and changed their identity.
Blake Wheeler, who Bowness stripped of his captaincy heading into this season, pushed back on some of his coach's comments, expressing some frustration with Bowness.
Clearly there's a sizable disconnect between the coaching staff and their players, and it looks like Winnipeg may be in for a large roster shakeup this summer. Hopefully the Jet's management can figure out the best solution to all this animosity.
