After over and over avoiding inquiries regarding his future all post-season, Bowness gave some sign of his considerations after the season-finishing 2-0 misfortune to Tampa Bay.
I realize I'm getting up there, and there's significantly more behind me than in front of me. Be that as it may, I actually have the enthusiasm. That is the most significant thing… I'm simply going to continue pushing.
