As if a go-around with both colon and liver cancer weren’t enough, it was made public today that the man who inspired many by coming back to coaching after facing off against cancer…is going to have to do it again.
The former cop and junior hockey player has been named the NHL coach of the year three separate times (1989, 1993 and 1998). He has added a Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils (2003) and appeared in the finals one other time with the Montreal Canadiens (1989).
It is pretty safe to say that a man with his credentials rightly belongs in the Hockey Hall of Fame, as one of the great coaches of the modern era. The hockey world is undoubtedly wishing him the best and standing in his corner as he prepares to battle once again with one of the world’s most fearsome villains.
This man is one of the greats and he’s already proven he’s a fighter. The greats always have another round left in them.
