At least from what I saw on HBO, Lavy does seem like a tough coach, but he also seems like he genuinely loves and cares about what happens to his players. Maybe that part of his act is a bit different as he has learned from past failures and lessons.
You can be a tough coach and still be a players coach. After HBO I found myself wanting to play for a guy like Lavi if I was a player.

I like this one too.
"We know that hockey is where we live, where we can best meet and overcome pain and wrong and death. Life is just a place where we spend time between games."

I'm lovin' it. I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1976 and he was kind enough to converse with me for a few minutes. It's a travesty that he isn't in the HOF. I'm biased because I saw them win the Cup but he'll always be my favorite coach.
He ranks as the most vain. The next time I have to stare at his ugly bald head through his thinning hair-sprayed hair... lol
actually, it seems he has finally seen enough of this too, and has stopped using excessive hair products, or at least started brushing it out so that what hair he does have doesn't clump together making him look like a chemo patient. Or maybe he just started powdering his head, so that the tv cameras don't pick up the glare as much.

When Laviolette gets fired in December, Murray will be back as head coach. I mean, Lavy's getting ready to sign an extension, you know his head's in the noose for sure now - Jsaquella
thats how it seems to go isnt it? Stevens had zero control in the locker room. Barber? I guess he tried too hard to have control. Neither was a great coach IMHO. I liked Hitchcock.

His hair is quite enigmatic. Without hair products, his mane looks full and lush. With them, he looks as you said. Perhaps it's a side product of excessive and vigorous gum chewing.

Either way, he has more hair than your coach. - feelingkettle
