500 club[edit]

Doubtless Patrick isn't happy about this, but he's credited with giving up the 500h goal to 2 players, only goalie ever to do it, I'm told, to Steve Yzerman & Joe Mollet. Trekphiler 14:23, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why the focus on "Incidents"[edit]

This article reads more like a rap sheet than a bio — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.176.17.42 (talk) 18:05, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is strange. We should create a Controversies section. His coaching career should have it's own section without all that gossip. Jozsefs (talk) 11:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Needs improvement[edit]

Article needs a lot of work. A lot of the Legacy section should actually be in the Career Achievements section. Legacy section should mention how he popularized the butterfly etc.

The gossip about his brawls as a coach should go into a new Controversies section, or be removed. Right now 80% of the Post-Playing Career section is just talking about his family losing it's temper. Jozsefs (talk) 11:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
