Despite this "tough love" approach, the players still have a respectful attitude towards Ward, so from what I can see, there's no hard feelings towards him.
With that said, it remains to be seen whether or not this type of technique will fly with veterans. I guess we'll see if Ward gets hired.

You could probably add Iginla to that list of players.
The tough love approach has worked with the youngsters, but we do not know how it will work with some of the veterans. I guess we will only find out if Ward is indeed the next head coach.
