April 28, 20232 yr comment_628374 I am still amazed that Chevy added only one piece at the trade deadline. Nino was a replacement for Perfetti, so Namestnikov was the only real add. Edited April 28, 20232 yr by JCon

April 28, 20232 yr comment_628387 Hypothetically if Chevy gets whacked, who replaces him? I sure hope to Christ it isn’t Craig Heisinger, True North’s cheap hire as an assistant GM. Heisinger hasn’t said a word about Graham James from when they worked together. Edited April 28, 20232 yr by Rod Black

No one who has worked under Chipman that long should be hired. Edited April 29, 20232 yr by JCon

April 29, 20232 yr comment_628416 The talent is mostly there with that team, but the attitude is not. In all reality, most teams would be in trouble without their number one (25 - 28 min) Dman. And he was one of the players who brought his game every night. I don't know if a complete blow up is the answer - but some players need to go - for sure.

April 29, 20232 yr comment_628426 Blake Wheeler becomes offended. See, the players were expected to act like pros and they didn’t fix the problems, now 26 starts whining - as one tweeter says “exhibit A : wheelers the problem.”

Just frustration on Bowness part, does it make a difference? Does Chipman can Bowness keep Chevy? History says yes. What a mess.

Now, how is it possible for the players to belly ache that they don’t know they are viewed as a problem? The coaches comments make it publicly clear what he thinks and what tons of fans think of them. Edited April 29, 20232 yr by Rod Black

April 29, 20232 yr comment_628430 Wheeler should have kept his yap shut. Hes bitching because he knows Bones was 100 percent right. And take a hard look in the mirror.

Wheeler (8 million dollar man) hasn’t found a solution, hasn’t shown he has a plan, so I can’t agree with him. Wheeler needs to act like he deserves 8 million. He is set for life.

There's a reason (or reasons) your C was taken away from you. Bowness nailed it. No pride. No push back in a do or die game. I guess the truth hurts some of these privileged, overpaid manbabies.
April 29, 20232 yr comment_628441 Every player they talked to today was upset with Bowness, not just Wheeler. Interesting times...

Ehlers had no problem, he just wants to play hockey, no guilty conscience from him. 37 isnt bitching about the coaches comments. Every player “quoted” is more like it. 55, 44 haven’t been quoted. and from someone who should know what he’s talking about… Oh my, another player not bitching at the coach.

April 29, 20232 yr comment_628447 Bowness wasn't going to speak today, but after virtually every player complained about him during their sessions, the team is making him available to the media so he can answer to it. PLD one of the few who said he didn't mind, but nearly all the rest were quite upset that he didn't keep it in house. Curious what Bowness has to say...

So many issues on so many levels. No team wants to pick up wheelers contract. He is irrelevant and an albatross. Actually Bowness obviously doesn’t care if he stays, based upon his short contract, age, and doesn’t need the cash.
