Controversy:

"It was a pretty uncomfortable year because of Stan's thing, getting let go, and I stayed on for the year and tried to keep going as much as I could, which I think I did," Bowman told The Associated Press' John Wawrow and Stephen Whyno. "It’s been a good ride. I mean, you don't get the chance to work with your son all the time.

"Naturally, you have your differences of opinion, but I got to know the personnel on the team, and it was a good ride to be able to see this team develop and everything else."

Bowman said he recently spoke with the new Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson. He asked him to reconsider the decision, according to The Athletic's Joe Smith.
