from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
...as part of TSN's annual Mid-Season NHL Coaches' poll, we asked the head coaches this basic question:
What bugs you about the game these days?
Oh, my, the answers.
The runaway winner was the schedule. Eight of the 24 respondents ticked that box as the one that ticks them off the most. This rolls the five-day bye, World Cup compression, CBA-mandated days off and plain, old 82 games into one big ball of hate.
If we were to provide one response that typified the others, it would be this one: "My (expletive deleted) schedule bugs the (expletive deleted) out of me," the coach said.
Beyond that, coaches tended to spread their vitriol around.
The next most unpopular answer was refereeing.
"It's a big problem and it's getting worse," one coach said.
