Hockey coaches are known as a fiery bunch, so when a call doesn’t go their way, anything can happen.
Of course, you know all of the tantrums that fill out the Top 10s every so often. John Tortorella is obviously littered throughout, Patrick Roy has a couple and plenty other usual suspects, but none of them compare to what some minor league coaches get up to.
For example, this coach from the Bismarck Bobcats who absolutely lost it after his team received a game misconduct against his bench.
Here’s a description of the affair from the Post Bulletin, a newspaper covering events in southeastern Minnesota:
“Bismarck unraveled in the third period, when it was called for 77 minutes of penalties, including one game misconduct and a misconduct against its bench, which resulted in a player or member of the coaching staff throwing more than a dozen sticks onto the ice.
The Bobcats finished the game with exactly 100 penalty minutes called against them.”
This guy reminds us of legendary angry baseball manager Wally Backman, who also started whipping his players' equipment on the ice.
