Bowness Rips Into His Team After Embarrassing Loss
During his post-game press conference, Rick Bowness did not hold back when talking about the game. Bowness admitted that his team's performance was one of the worst in his tenure as head coach.
"Whatever my message was before the game was clearly wrong," Bowness said, according to Sportsnet. "So it starts with that, I guess. Listen, the bottom line is: That's the worst game we have played in my two years here, by far. Cause we didn't have one player play a good game, not one. So it starts there and it ends there, it's as simple as that."
Some pretty harsh words from a head coach whose team is currently in a playoff spot. Occasionally teams have a tough night and lay an egg. The Jets will have one day off before they get a chance to get back on track against the Washington Capitals.
