The Flames are horrid in overtime, they lose every game because of some stupid defensive mistake and have probably been told 20 times to not get caught behind the net. The players continue to make the same mistake and after every loss the coach gets #### on, so why shouldn't he lose it?
Just a question as you usually have excellent answers.

If you're expecting your players to walk the tightrope of playing with poise and supreme intensity while maintaining enough discipline to not take dumb penalties or make the wrong 'effort' play (eg. ill-timed pinch), I don't think it's too much to expect the guy behind the bench to demonstrate some poise himself.
There are different buttons to push at different times, but I struggle to see how the coach smashing stuff would be remotely effective. Going on a fair/accurate/reasonable rant every now and then makes sense, but that sure as hell can't be the only note you play.
