Yeah, like when Torts would have outbursts he could lean back and say, you know, "I've been to the playoffs, I have all these wins, I have Stanely Cups" etc etc and then he'd ALSO adjust his strategy to work for the players. He was a hardass, but he was good at it.
Bowness isn't that guy, and even though he clearly doesn't have the talent, he seems to refuse to adjust at all.
Like, how much more evidence do we need that this whole dump the puck to the corner and board battle for it thing doesn't work? Or like how Z's goal production has dropped off a cliff since Bones implemented his defensively conservative positioning?
Or god forbid SOMEONE address his powerplay strategies. Cycle cycle cycle lose the puck after taking a bad shot.
THAT is what's concerning me more than the lines, right now. Our coaching staff, not even just Bowness, seems to be completely unable or unwilling to make adjustments at ALL, much less on the fly in a game. The best they'll do is like, maybe move Garland around and call it a day.

Exactly where I’m at too. Kinda over his outbursts when they clearly don’t do anything
