But he yells at people on the bench and in press conferences…

 

[Ceremony]

The 13/14 season is the most enjoyable season I've had in over twenty years of being an Avalanche fan. Enjoy it boys. Whatever happens, you'll be entertained.

 

[I Loveallsports]

Wow!

Will be interesting to see his style of play. Just wow!

 

[Lek]

WOW....i Like it!

 

[benedictTavares]

lol we in the sht now boys

 

[Avs44]

You guys will be entertained, to say the very least. I wouldn't be surprised if he's getting a say in management decisions (the lack of which was why, in Colorado, he abruptly quit just before the season started -- he was initially promised a co-manager role). If he does, then he's inclined to be aggressive on the trade market if things go to hell. Wouldn't be surprised if you also get a nice season bump from him -- he's a charismatic, inspiring dude who runs the risk of, in the long run, running out his welcome.

Guy was a mess in Colorado

From my friends who closely follow the Q he's really calmed himself down but they needed someone from the outside who is a bit of a ball buster in the worst way.

 

[OldCraig71]

Well, Torts was taken but I think you got a similar animal in Saint Patrick.

 

[Cameraguy]

Wow just wow!!!

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Holy smokes, was not expecting that at all

 

[I Loveallsports]
