Rick Bowness rips his players as Stars lose fourth straight game

Dallas Stars head coach Rick Bowness was not in a forgiving mood Tuesday night as the Dallas Stars lost their fourth game in a row, 4-1 to the St. Louis Blues. Following the game, Bowness decided to tell reporters exactly how he felt about his team's performance.

"When you get the one goal and it's from Riley Damiani in his first NHL game, that's incredibly disappointing in a big game like that," said Bowness.

"We had some guys that I'll have to check the video tomorrow to see if they even played. I couldn't find them on the ice, so unless you're going to want to show up and get your nose dirty and get involved in a game like that then you're a complete non-factor. We had a few of those guys that were complete no-shows and we have no chance if we have guys that don't want to show up and play in those games."

Bowness is never one to mince words and this certainly isn't the first time he's decided to rip on his players after a poor performance. The Stars are currently sixth in the Central division, ahead of just the Chicago Blackhawks and Arizona Coyotes.
