Here was an all-time great at a skill adjacent to coaching, grappling with the reality that the traits which made him a Hall of Fame player only kind of, sort of translated behind the bench. It was obvious how well he knew hockey, obvious he could motivate a room, obvious how much he cared and obvious that he was willing to study himself and try to change in ways unusual for someone of his stature.
