And then you look at Victor Tikhanov, like anyways, they were similar as coaches.
Like how were they different or like looking at the two that coached you?
Probably what they achieve, they probably plus minus the same.
Different countries differently understand.
But as far as coaching, they absolutely, totally plus and minus.
In Soviet Union, coach can raise the boys on the bench, behind the bench, to the ice and so on.
After the first or second period, we may get even, you know, some harsh and hard wording, you know.
Obviously, NHL not like that.
Scottie is not like that.
But the team we had, even after...
my Russian buddies came in like Slava Kozlov and Vladimir Konstantin.
We had Lee Norwood, Dave Barr.
We had experienced him.
John Shabbat.
We got Glennie Hanlon, Jerry Gallant.
They were, you know, we have well-balanced age-wise team.
So we had a great team and still coaching, not raising their voice.
They absolutely only behind closed doors, one-on-one.
Maybe they would say something, not harsh, but strong, you know, so you can get your feet moving and so on.
That's a huge difference, huge difference between Scotty and obviously Viktor Tikhonov.
