GG was emotionless and I think he actively coached emotion out of the team (getting both Ferland and Bennett to play more controlled games).
Peters had a bit more emotion but still wasn’t a guy that showed a lot of emotion on the bench or in the media.
Ward is pretty much emotionless on the bench too.
All these coaches are very businesslike and don’t add any fire to the team. The whole roster treats it like a job...and I’m not sure that’s a good thing. Treat it like your passion, not a job.
I’d like to see a coach like Boudreau coach this team. Strong systems, fits a teams style to their roster, and wears his heart on his sleeve.

Coach Q would have been a beauty here.
