Hockey Player

The Resume

    (October 21, 1949- )
    Head Coach of Philadelphia Flyers (1984-88), Chicago Blackhawks (1988-92), New York Rangers (1993-94), St. Louis Blues (1994-97), Vancouver Canucks (1997-99), Boston Bruins (2000-01) and Florida Panthers (2001-04)
    General manager of Florida Panthers (2004- )

Why he might be annoying:

    He is nicknamed 'Iron Mike.'
    He is the NHL's nomadic head coach.
    He walked out on his contract with the Rangers after leading them to the Stanley Cup title (1994).
    His coaching stints have lasted no longer then four seasons.
    He has been fired at mid-season three of those times.
    He could not get along with former Panthers GM Rick Dudley.
    While coaching the OHL's Peterborough Petes, it is speculated he told his players to throw away a round robin game to get a bye into the Memorial Cup championship (1980).
    He alienated Blues fans by trading away star players Brendan Shanahan and Curtis Joseph after he was named GM.
    He got fleeced in the Wayne Gretzky trade by giving up way too much for a player whose stint with the team lasted three and a half months.
    He has a habit of signing older veterans who are past their prime.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He isn't afraid to chew out star players when they perform below expectations.
    He isn't afraid to bench superstar players.
    He is a coach that demands hard work and accountability from his players.
    He has coached some of the game's great players like Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier.
    He guided the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup title in 54 years (1994).
    He is one of the NHL's all-time leaders in wins by a head coach.
    He acquired future all-star Chris Pronger as Blues GM.
