I liked what happened last night from an entertainment perspective but last night's stunt isn't a team building maneuver and more a desperate sideshow act. Seeing the opposition was the Canucks everyone will turn a blind eye but this isn't something you want to put on your resume if you are Bob.
I just can't get over his over reliance on goons, often puzzling line combinations, and favouritism to some players. Just doesn't seem like a head coach that is with the times. I get that he's motivated the players more than not until recently but I don't see much of a tactician or a system builder. He's okay piloting the team in their current state of low expectations but I don't feel comfortable with him steering the ship long term as I don't see any greatness from him as he's a throwback coach that's a little out of his element at times in a league where some teams don't even dress goons nightly.
