Ok… Here’ comes couple of tweets about Teemu and his relationship with Bruce Boudreau. All from Teemu’s new book.

”It would have been wrong if we had won the Stanley Cup with coach like that.” #teemu

”You are as good as you your coach wants you to be. If we had any other coach, I’d still be playing.” -Teemu

After BB decided to scratch him for game 4 against Dallas: "I waited after everyone else had left the ice and skated to Boudreau…"

" I yelled him right to his face what I was thinking. I ask what he has against me. I told him that since he became our coach…"

"he has not respected me one bit. You never put me on ice when we play 5on3 of 4on4 or when we are one goal behind in the end of the game."

"Be honest for one time and answer.! He just stammered that decisions we not his alone and it was a group decision."

"I ask which group and he said GM and scouts. I yelled him "whow, what kind of a coach you are if you don’t even decide lineup!”."

"He tried to skate away but I just yelled I wasn’t finish. I told Boudreau if you ever want to win something in a playoffs…"

”... you’re going to need me. Nobody else wants to win as much as me. It felt really good."

He met with BB after olympics: "I told him that if I can’t succeed in that, you can totally forget me."

"I got to play with Getzlaf the next four games, scored two goals and four points. After then everything went back to way it was before."

He also says he had doubts about resigning to Ducks in 2013, because of BB. Considered going to either LA Kings or… yes, Winnipeg Jets.

”BB promised (b4 season) that I will play 1st PP unit and 2nd PP unit and get average of 15min ice time…"

”He even said he wants to see me scoring my 700th goal."

”Season started well, but after that my time on ice declined, just like previous year. He didn’t keep any of his promises."

In first intermission of Game 7 against LA, Kings lead 3-0. Teemu took his cell phone in the locker room and sent a txt msg to his wife..

… and couple of friends. In English. ”####ing joke.

He also says last year was the first time in his career players didn’t see head coach at the exit meetings.

”He probably sensed that there was so many guys who would have just wanted to yell everything to him."

BUT he also says: ”There’s nothing wrong with my relationship with Boudreau. In fact, he is a nice man."

”We just had very different view of what kind of player I am."

”I’m surprised that Getzlaf didn’t react in any way to that situation."

”I told him several times that he’s the captain, he should take care of the situation. When we have played together on PP; we’ve been top3"
