For me I really don't care if my coach shows emotion publicly (or privately), I care about repeated poor decision-making with regard to playing the wrong lines in the wrong situations, or refusing to fix obviously broken special teams. GG throwing a stick and yelling at everyone is only encouraging to me because it implies that he's getting some pressure from up top for the team to perform, and he probably knows that he's one of the first people on the chopping block.
I just want stuff that translates to wins on the ice. Temper tantrums from a coach that I believe some of the vets have already tuned out (though I have no concrete evidence of that of course, it's just my perception) don't do anything for me except think that his leash might be getting shorter.
But if the team goes and rattles of ten in a row, I will gladly re-think the merits of stick-throwing.
