Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

This is a very direct and tough question. I respect Bruce a lot. He let me do a lot of things, he made me one of his top 6 forwards who had to play and influence the result. I thank him a lot for that. It's difficult for me to analyze his actions. This is because I did not watch all the games. I can only say that Bruce is a terrific person, a great human being. And as a coach he takes great care of all the guys. And at times it seemed to me that he was a bit soft with the guys. Maybe in some situations he should have been tougher [on them]. I know he has both of those qualities. What was the balance of those two qualities is difficult to say.

Sergei Fedorov last year on the coaching of Bruce Boudreau.

Fedorov is a pretty easy-going guy from what I’ve read about him and his comments in the past. So if HE’S saying Bruce is soft in some regards, then he might be extremely so.

The fact that Fedorov says that it’s a tough question and than appeals to the Boudreau is a good person angle and not the Boudreau is a good coach angle screams to me that he has reservations about the coaching.

I have planned my grand attacks; I will stand behind their backs. With my brand new battle-axe, they will taste my wrath. They will hear me say as the pavement whirls, "I hate California girls."

Also important to note that the interview is from last year, after the Montreal series.

That is very important to note.

Get me a tub of Häagen-Dazs because I'm depressed.
