So I'm sure he's an #######, but honestly I'm not sure he's any different than a grumpy old guy like Darryl Sutter was here.

A lot of these coaches are going to have a lot of detractors and a bunch of guys on their side.
Look at Toffoli for instance he said Darryl is the best coach he ever hard but he also acknowledged that he is difficult and does dumb things in that get on players nerves.
The issue becomes the NHL needs to stop recycling these dinosaurs who have outdated ways and move on and we will have less of the stories and issues.
Its not just coaches either a lot of the old school people have difficulty adapting to new ways, and a lot adapt just fine.
