The way Rizzi tore into Hayball has been a blemish on his coaching performance for me, so far. I hope it was the exception, or maybe reflected something tailored to their relationship that was about pushing the right buttons. Holding players accountable is absolutely necessary, but that came across as unhinged and completely disproportionate to the circumstances and the mistake.
But there's another moment that I think has to also be considered, along with that one, that occurred in the last game. At a point during Haener's poor performance, there was a shot of him sitting on the bench, with Rizzi leaned in close, rubbing the back of his head, and seeming to offer some kind of encouragement.
By all accounts, he's very popular with the players and it seems unlikely that the heated moment with Hayball is something nobody had ever seen before.
