All tweets from Juha Hiitelä @jhiitela from Teemu's new book. I was never a big fan of his but still shocking that he'd say all this...
â€Season started well, but after that my time on ice declined, just like previous year. He didn’t keep any of his promises."
â€He even said he wants to see me scoring my 700th goal."
â€BB promised (b4 season) that I will play 1st PP unit and 2nd PP unit and get average of 15min ice time…"
He also says he had doubts about resigning to Ducks in 2013, because of BB. Considered going to either LA Kings or… yes, Winnipeg Jets.
"I got to play with Getzlaf the next four games, scored two goals and four points. After that everything went back to way it was before."
He met with BB after olympics: "I told him that I’ve I can’t succeed in that, you can totally forget me."
â€... you’re going to need me. Nobody else wants to win as much as me. It felt really good."
"He tried to skate away but I just yelled I wasn’t finish. I told Boudreau if you ever want to win something in a playoffs…"
"I ask which group and he said GM and scouts. I yelled him "whow, what kind of a coach you are if you don’t even decide lineup!â€."
"Be honest for one time and answer.! He just stammered that decisions we not his alone and it was a group decision."
"he has not respected me one bit. You never put me on ice when we play 5on3 of 4on4 or when we are one goal behind in the end of the game."
" I yelled him right to his face what I was thinking. I ask what he has against me. I told him that since he became our coach…"
After BB decided to scratch him for game 4 against Dallas: "I waited after everyone else had left the ice and skated to Boudreau…"
â€You are as good as you your coach wants you to be. If we had any other coach, I’d still be playing.†-Teemu
â€It would have been wrong if we had won the Stanley Cup with coach like that.†#teemu

Ok… Here’ comes couple of tweets about Teemu and his relationship with Bruce Boudreau. All from Teemu’s new book.
EDIT: Didn't realise at first but the book has only been out in Finnish so these are all translated by the guy who tweeted them. Not sure how accurate they are...
