I found out that if you are going to win games, you had better be ready to adapt.
I don't have bad relationships with my players. But I don't get into long conversations with them either.
Rick Tocchet is what I call a warrior. He really brings a lot to a team because he really believes in team play. He's tough on himself and he's tough on the team. As a coach, if you had even one guy like him on your team, you'd have a heckuva chance to do your job well.
The better the coaching has become, the worse the game has become.
There is nothing so uncertain as a sure thing.
High sticking, tripping, slashing, spearing, charging, hooking, fighting, unsportsmanlike conduct, interference, roughing......everything else is just figure skating.
