NHL Coaches Who Hated Their Own Players in the 1970s

Every hockey fan has heard a story about a coach who went after his own players. Some of those stories are legend, and some are on the record in newspapers and league history. This countdown from twelve to one sets the famous 1970s feuds against what actually happened, from Punch Imlach and Frank Mahovlich to Bep Guidolin and Phil Esposito. Some stories hold up and others fall apart, and the last one, the Swedish Sieve, turns out stranger than Don Cherry ever told it. By the end you'll know which feuds were real, which grew in the telling, and what it was like when a bench boss could be this hard on the men in his lineup. CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 0:44 12.
