Chicago Hawkie Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Does anyone have any funny stories about when their team's coach, or any team's coach, blew their stack on TV, either during a game or a press conference? I thought this thread up today as I was watching the rest of the Hawks-Rangers game and how Rangers coach Alain Vigneault kind of reminds me of Marc Crawford. Marc Crawford, of course, was the former Colorado Avalanche (and Vancouver Canucks) coach who blew his top during a game agsint the Red Wings (I think it was a playoff game, if I'm rigjht ... Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, maybe?) when he got into a shouting match with Scotty Bowman (I think he also got into a similar shouting match the following year with then-Edmonton Oilers coach Ron Low during a first-round playoff game, but I may be wrong on this one).

Chicago Hawkie Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) In an attempt to get this thread going ... it's not an NHL game; in fact, I'm not even sure which teams were playing since this was back in 2010, I believe, but ... Near the end of a local newscast, the sports news was on and a coach was protesting a call against his team. This particular coach jumped up on his team's bench and proceeded to rip off his jacket a la The Incredible Hulk! I rewound that and watched it at least three times because it was so funny. Also ... anyone remember Robbie Ftorek and the BENCH TOSS in a game against the Wings in, I believe, 2000 (yave, I'm looking in your direction for this one!)?

JackStraw Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Laviolette had his moments in Philly... The famous stare-down with Bylsma: The infamous Ville Leino head-punch: http://www.crossingbroad.com/2011/02/video-lavs-punches-leino-in-the-head.html And there was the Coke machine that he destroyed during an intermission, but I don't think that was captured on film for posterity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersNation28 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Oct 3rd 2013 though they won 6-1 over the ducks. Coach patrick roy slammed on the glass partition between the team benches and it started to give away. Roy was upset because of a hit between nathan mackinnon of the avs and ben lovejoy of the ducks was he thought a dangerous knee to knee hit then starting yelling at ducks coach bruce boudreau 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
