A lot of people pump this guys tires but the fact is that he was a mediocre player and average at best head coach in his time that some people believe is supposed to be relevant in his 80's as a hockey guru? He only got a media job because he was flamboyant not a great hockey mind. We aren't talking about Scotty Bowman or even Darryl Sutter and other coaches that won cups or had long winning careers as a head coach. He was a mediocre coach and player and is no more relevant than having say Craig MacTavish would be at 80 years old giving his opinion on a current game that he hasn't been a part of for decades. Irrelevant.
