It is anecdotal and likely highly influenced by your already formed opinions about the coach.

Your response was that I couldn't know because I only know what the TV cameras show us. I pointed out that it was my observation from being at the games.
You can say I am wrong, but I have yet to read one post by anyone on this forum who says they see GG talking to his team repeatedly during the game.
It's also interesting that you say any complaint about GG is anecdotal, but there are clear tangible examples of his baffling coaching decisions.
What is not anecdotal are the results of his coaching tenure. 4 years as a head coach, and if we miss he playoffs this year (likely) he will have a 25% playoff appearance rate, and have never won an NHL playoff game as a head coach.
His results are poor. The people using anecdotes are the people who want to keep him. He is not a successful head coach and keeping him around for the sake of consistency is a cop out because you aren't willing to take a chance to make things better.
