I’ve found Jacques Lemaire very amusing in all his quotes in the newspaper and other media. He doesn’t flatter players, if they’re doing badly, he’ll say so; the same when he’s talking about the whole team. He doesn’t broadcast a false sense of optimism when things are going badly, but he seems to be very good at motivating his players to improve and work harder. He’s also very sarcastic at times, and he has a dry sense of humor.
All in all, I like reading his comments. Unfortunately he was run into by one of his players during a recent practice. I hope he’s all right.
There was also a very funny article related to a Wild fan (a fan of the Wild team, not a crazy guy). He regularly gets tickets for the seat right next to the penalty box and whenever a player of the opposing team is sent in, he talks at them. He has some rules such as, no foul language, no personal insults, and no tapping on the glass. But he’s still annoyed several players, and had decent conversations with others. He usually misses all the power play goals the Wild scores, but apparently he prefers heckling the penalized players.
