Winnipeg Jets head coach Rick Bowness talked about his future with the team. Two years ago, he stepped into a bit of a mess, but despite that, he's been steering the ship. Now, after another intense season, which ended in five games in the first round, he's contemplating his next move.
He's planning to chat with his family first, then sit down with higher ups , Mark Chipman and Kevin Cheveldayoff, to hash things out. Yet his love for the game hasn't waned one bit. Despite facing personal challenges, like his wife's illness and his own health scares, he's still got that fire burning bright.
Cheveldayoff's playing it close to the chest, not ready to say anything. But he's giving credit where it's due, acknowledging the team's stellar regular season performance, even if things went sideways in the playoffs.
Sure, they were crushed by the Colorado Avalanche. Their strengths seemed to disappear, and their special teams were a disaster. But Bowness isn't one to dwell on the negatives.
Coach Bowness is a fighter, through and through. He's faced tough times before, and he's not backing down now. Whatever comes next, which he will reveal when ready, he'll face it head-on, with that same passion and love for the game that's been driving him all along.
