It was completely planned.
Duhatschek's article in the athletic today does a good job covering it. There was a lot of media at practice looking for Jagr update, among other things, the coach knew this. It was all part of his plan.
Whether it was convincing or not is moot. He called the team out, specifically the veterans, publicly. GG is no rube, it was a calculated move to say to the team 'get your sh*t together'.
