He said his kids coach at Edge School was the worst coach he's ever seen and added that his kid learned to play hockey in CAROLINA, so that is saying something. Hilarious story the way he told it.
Doesn't add to the story just a useless anecdote.

He had a lot of good qualities about him as a head coach and the things he believed in and again he unlocked the offensive potential for a good portion of the roster.
Even in Carolina the teams may not have gotten the results but around the league they always said Carolina was one of the best coached and prepared teams in the league.
Faceoffs, starting on time and the transition are some of the key elements of his style that I remember being the reason for our turnaround.
Too bad he may also be a person who had too much old school in him and using language that he thought was ok and its not ok.
