Can someone tell me a bit about this guys coaching style? Is he an up tempo style coach? Im just wondering if he would fit in here? I loved him as a player and I think he could be a good coach

I can't really. I can tell you he is/was one of the most underrated players in his day, I can tell you OV hated him as a coach by all reports and I can tell you he has history with Linden.

That's really it

Is OV uncoachable?

Not at all, you just need a coach who knows how to deal with that sort of attitude, stroke his ego and give him free reign to go fully on the offence and not chastise him for defensive mistakes.

So long as he is putting up his ridiculous goal totals he should be given a free pass on any and all defensive breakdowns. Other players on the team will be fine with that so long as everyone's roles are clearly defined before hand.

Agreed. I remember Washington having a problem with Jagr as well when no other team did. Maybe it's a fundamental problem they have in their organization. But what though?
