I don't doubt any of this. And while I think it was absolutely the best decision to move along from him when we did... I'll always love that crazy S.O.B. for that wild crazy comeback season that culminated in yet another playoff series victory over Vancouver. Despite it's fundamental flaws, that was an exciting season to watch and I do think it did a lot of good for the offensive confidence of Johnny and Monny etc.
Having said that wouldn't be surprised to not see him get another NHL head coaching gig again. Unless maybe Montreal is looking for that specific brand of chaos some day.
