Blake Wheeler has a bone to pick with Bones.

The Winnipeg Jets forward didn't appreciate head coach Rick Bowness' comments to the media following the club's elimination from the playoffs Thursday.

"I thought Rick had an opportunity to address us as a team. Now we have to answer that question, right? He could've been honest with us. We could've had those discussions behind closed doors," Wheeler said Saturday, per Sportsnet. "I didn't agree with how he handled himself after the game."

Bowness said Thursday that he was "disappointed and disgusted" after the club lost Game 5 to the Vegas Golden Knights.

On Saturday, he said he regrets using the word "disgusted."

"One of my many faults is I'm too emotional and wear my heart on my sleeve," Bowness added, per the Winnipeg News' Mike McIntyre.

Wheeler clarified that Bowness did express his disappointment with the team after Game 5's second period, but the veteran said he wished the coach didn't publicly air his grievances.
