People associate him with boring because he had to play a style that was conducive to winning with an undermanned roster. The best players he had to work with in OEL, Yandle, Vrbata, and Doan all produced under him but take a look at his rosters after that. Guys like Gagner, Moss, Richardson, Korpikoski, etc. Hard to imagine an exciting team when your best forward is in his mid-30's and the rest of the scoring comes from two defensemen.
