Winnipeg Jets Head Coach has had enough, throws entire team under the bus
The Winnipeg Jets are currently playing some of their worst hockey of the season at the absolute wrong time of the year. Winnipeg have a record of 5-7-0 in their last twelve games.
After Tuesday night's 3-0 defeat to the San Jose Sharks. Jets' head coach Rick Bowness called out his players for their inconsistencies:
«Well, I'd say we created enough scoring chances. The offence gave us a chance to win the game, we just didn't score. Then, the inconsistencies with some of our players is hurting us,» Jets head coach Rick Bowness said after the game, «Some of these guys think they're giving us everything in their tank, they're dreaming. We have a lot of guys in there giving us everything they can. We just need a few more guys to jump on board. It's not over. We're still in eighth spot. We're going to find out what we're made of over the next little while.»
When asked a follow up about how he can reach those players fighting with inconsistency, he basically said it was up to those guys to take a long, hard look in the mirror.
«How do you reach them? There comes a point when your personal pride has to take over. If someone has to go in there and point that out to them, then there is a big problem right there. As I said, we're going to find out what we're made of and we're going to find out what everyone in that room is made of over the next little while.»
The Sharks were riding a nine-game losing streak going into Tuesday's contest and their only win in the last 15 games was against the same Winnipeg Jets.
With the loss Winnipeg is clinging onto the final Wild Card spot in the West with a two point lead on the Calgary Flames with both teams playing 75 games.
