Wish I never played."ĭownie then added another tweet, criticizing Cherry for his stance against visors. "But again, I did what don cherry said to do every Saturday night.

There are outspoken former players on Twitter, and even a few outspoken AHL players like Paul Bissonnette, but I can’t recall seeing a player openly blast his former coach and organization in the same manner Steve Downie has the Arizona Coyotes.You have reached a degraded version of because you're using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.įor a complete experience, please upgrade or use a supported browserĭownie goes on Twitter rant against Cherry, Coyotes The outburst by Downie is pretty unprecedented among NHL circles. Then he randomly wants me in his line up. dave the man tippet didn’t let me skate for 4 days not even a morning skate. Steve Downie also had some choice words for how Tipp handles his players. John gets mad at Collin and tells him off then AZ trades him haha who’s the puppet Particularly after Scott’s piece was published in the Player’s Tribune on the subject.Ĭollin Campbell asked John Scott if his kids were going to be embarrassed that he’s going to all star game. John Scott is the best team mate I’ve seen in a long timeĪt the time, John Scott’s trade came under intense scrutiny from fans and media.

I remember watching tippet laugh at big John working his ass off for the team.Ĭlassless. This really put over the edge last year and made me quit on az. Or tippets an idiotįrom there he shifted to the John Scott fiasco and conspiracy surrounding his jettison from Arizona last season.Īnother classless move done by tippet. I’ve never played on a team when my best player broke his hand in a fight. He also had thoughts on Domi getting injured fighting.Ĥth. #classless.ģrd peterborough Petes are better run then az coyotes

Then, things to a turn for the bizarre as he pivots into blasting Dave Tippett and Newell Brown for running a “classless” organization that is worse than a junior hockey team.Ģnd shout out is to dave tippet and newel brown on running a great program down in AZ there’s a reason there in last every year. It began innocently enough, with a shout out to Yotes’ standout player Max Domi for fighting.įirst shout out way max domi haha what a punch. He broke a year long hiatus from Twitter to air his grievances with the Arizona Coyotes brass.

Whatever Tipp and Maloney’s reasoning might have been, Downie isn’t happy. The 29-year-old never learned to control himself and it appeared that head coach Dave Tippett was tired of it. “Despite his reputation, Downie is actually a very serviceable veteran player, but seemed unwilling to pick his spots with his role as pest in order to maximize the return he could give to his team.”
