Pavel Bure also said Keenan was one of the best coaches he played for. In 1997-1998, he said Keenan put him out there at opportune times to ensure that that he would reach 50 goals and get his performance bonus. The team was missing the playoffs anyway. This despite Keenan publicly calling Bure a "sulking suck" at one point that season.
Bure also said that he played for Viktor Tikhonov back in Russia, so Keenan wasn't so bad in comparison. It makes you wonder just how bad Tikhonov must have been.
