In surprising timing, the Columbus Blue Jackets have fired head coach Dean Evason and assistant coach Steve McCarthy and hired ex WInnipeg Jets bench boss Rick Bowness to coach for the rest of the season. We talk about why the firing had to happen, whether “Bones” is the long term solution, and whether this will actually save the CBJ season, or if they’re just trying to get to the offseason.

About time
Which they had done this before trading chinakov. Everson did not know how to put players in positions to succeed.
Rick Bowness is a players coach. He will hold the team accountable and instill defensive systems.
I knew it was coming soon hope the best to dean and Steve
Bowness? Short term fix? Recycling coaches like only the NHL can.
I know hes not a long term coach but he can help grow
The most surprising thing as a long time jackets fan is that they did anything at all. Seems like they use to just let stuff ride way too long in the past. Shows me Don was serious though ive heard there was a push from the owners. Thats some reddit stuff though so who knows if there is any truth to it.
