It’s funny that lots of people want a hard-ass coach (which is fine - I get it) but then they talk about getting Boudreau and Gallant. That’s not how either of them actually coached as I understand it. Both are super player friendly and I recall when Boudreau tried to be a disciplinarian once (I think for the Caps) it went badly because it just wasn’t him. Is it because people look at them and think they are hard-asses because they are balding beefy guys?
