"One time, we were in the playoffs against Colorado, and Pierre Lacroix was the manager of that team. [The visitors' bench] in the old McNichols Arena was really close to the boards, whereas [the Avalanche] bench was big, with lots of room and a place for the coaches to stand behind the bench. The bench that we used had no bench to stand on, so the coaches had to look over the [players' heads] all of the time. We lost the first two games [of a playoff series] in Colorado and we got back to Edmonton, and I had the building manager change the boards so that ... it was really hard for their guys to get on and off the ice. He moved the bench up really close, and I took the [secondl bench out so there was nothing to stand on. That really pi**ed them off. In those days you could get away with a lot of that petty bu****it.... Now you get warned all the time about doing that kind of stuff. Half of the flavor of the game is gone; there is no fun anymore."
