Bowness is a coach who players love playing for, for him to get to this point, things have gone horribly wrong. He came in, turned things around and the players gave up. Yeah, heads should roll if he’s back. His teams have always been competitive.
Aaron Boone, are you watching?
whatta ya got? = what's up trevor?
They're gettting paid too much to care. 'Performance related pay' and they'll start caring in a hurry. Same goes for politicians whilst we're at it.
This the REALITY of MILLIONAIRES playing a sport.
hockey > nba
Hope he is back. Blue jackets should make the playoffs next season
Hockey is the best of the "Big 4" sports, and yet the average American sports fan would rather watch Stephen A. Smith yell at a tv screen about some contrived topic on the Lakers or Cowboys for the 5 thousandth time.
Rich is obviously way more interesting and thoughtful to listen to, but sports commentators always fall back on, "We talk about what our viewers want to see". At some point it's a chicken-or-the-egg argument. If you never talk hockey, your viewers will never pay attention to it, and it becomes a self-fulfilling feedback loop.
The drama down the stretch with the fight for the last few NHL playoff spots (including Columbus stubbing their toe) has been way more interesting than watching 10 NBA teams fall over themselves to tank the past 6 weeks.
He sounds like he cares.
Not impress.
I’m so disappoint.
DEY SOFF.
IYKYK.
He sounds exactly like Pete Rose….the way he sounds and how he talks
Of all the NHL stories to cover… you pick the coach crashing out… smh… pretty lame Rich…
Loved this guy when he was the coach of the Bruins. Don't know why we ever let him go! You're the best Rick!
Time for Rick Bowness to clean house and trade the players
Coach left all his effs in the locker room! He didn't have any more to give at the press conference!
Horrible culture of n sports now. Starts in juniors, AAU. You’re the greatest and don’t have to work.
That coach kept it real af.
I had watched the previous game where they were down a goal in the 3rd period. The Blue Jackets pushed the play a bit. What I found troubling was multiple errors on the ice where there were awful passing plays and numerous times where two players were very close together in places where neither player should have been. Multiple little basic mistakes the whole period. All I could do is think: this team isn't ready for playoffs; they don't have their brains engaged. Basic mistakes that even a high school player would know what to do & where to be.
Hockey is the greatest sport of all time.
Rich, nowhere near the Jerry Burns rant when he was coach of the Vikings ….. now that was a classic
Columbus has been the most worthless franchise since I’ve started watching in 09. Rick Nash was their peak and that’s not that crazy. He was great and all
The crazy thing is I was discussing the Stanley Cup playoffs a few days ago and talking about what a difficult opponent Columbus might be. What a difference a week makes🏒🥅
Not just Rick Bowness, if you listen to the players and how they responded, big disconnect. But this precedes Bowness. CBJ is 25 years in and 2 playoff appearances. And right now, the club is looking at more of the same.
Them and the Red Wings are the same right now.
Coach admitting he has little influence.
I swear Rick’s been in and around coaching 50 years 😂
Sounds like the Redwings
I don’t feel sorry for these teams… That are bottom, feeding teams… Relying on other teams to lose so they can make the playoffs
F—ck em. Do better next year… Try harder.
He’s PISSED.
Reporter actually said "In the long history of this franchise" lol
Was the same for the red wings since March 80% of the team don’t mind losing as long as the cheques clear
Look at Ingrams reaction after Edms shootout loss to Colorado the other night, that's what he's talking about.
My team Detroit Red Wings were completely destroyed last night to end their season 8-1. A completely ironic fitting end to their disastrous post Olympics season! Coach McClellan almost did the exact opposite of this coach haha. Coach McClellan took the “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all” approach.
This man was definitely tapping his inner Shoresy.
0:00 and that's why I don't watch ESPN. There are countless people on Youtube talking hockey. Won't talk hockey but they'll have wrestlers on there. ESPN and Disney is a joke
The press conference starts at 1:28
This goes for all sports. These guys are literally getting paid millions to play hockey and the fans are paying a fortune just to watch them play. Each player plays about 15 minutes of the game. They should either play the game the best they can or give the fans a 75% refund. I don't care if a team is in last place or not. They're getting paid to play, PLAY!
Somebody had to say the quiet part out loud.
They are on the right team
Do it for Johnny!
25 years with the CBJ and nothing to show for it. And we’ve had good teams and stars with great fan support.
Columbus native. That’s a Coach I want. Holding people accountable. I love the line about their lucky fortunes that there’s no practice tomorrow. I can’t believe we fell apart and didn’t make the playoffs.
As a red wings fan, I feel this. We just lost 8 – 1 to end our collapse
You guys should all be watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Get on board.
You shouldn't be advertising Disney
This is michel therrien "they're soff" levels of great.
I loved Rick Bowness’ time with the Stars, but man… make up your mind, retire or coach.
His stint in Dallas wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t exactly great either. He kept the team competitive and hard to beat with a defense-first approach: heavy shot-blocking, collapsing in front of the net and relying a lot on goaltending. The pace was slower, the games were grind-it-out battles and the results often looked the same.
The outcome? The Stars were tough to beat… and, at times, tough to watch. A lot of games ended 2–1.
To be fair, his system worked. Dallas stayed defensively sound and consistently competitive. It just wasn’t pretty hockey. Dump-and-chase offense and low-scoring games became the norm. So no, the system wasn’t broken, but it definitely wasn’t exciting.
The bigger issue was how it limited the roster. Younger, more offensive players often saw reduced roles, while veterans carried most of the load. And with the level of skill Dallas had, fans couldn’t help but ask, “Why are we playing like this?” Too many nights ended with one or two goals, max.
By the end, the Stars were stuck in the middle. Not bad enough to rebuild, not dynamic enough to truly contend. Even Bowness seemed to recognize it. The roster and his coaching style just didn’t line up anymore. So when he stepped down, there were no pitchforks, no heartbreak. Just respect for what he did, a collective nod and a page turn. As Bowness said himself, it was time for the organization to go in a “different direction.”
