Yeah, he was quite candid in several areas. Especially where he was at when he got to Phoenix and talked about how the only way out was death if he didn't get things turned around.
Partially defended staged fights - and certainly reinforced the point that the players themselves believe fighting can impact the game - but also said some are unnecessary. Said he turns down fights if the situation isn't right. Some here may not like that he also pretty much told anyone who hates fighting to go watch something else.
Recognized when Tortorella lost his mind that there was probably a camera on it, and was trying to prevent anyone from doing something stupid(...er than Tortorella already had) that would embarrass the game.
