Whalers’ Pleau Learning Value Of Discipline
HARTFORD—Larry Pleau can laugh at himself, that is one of his gifts. “How come, when there’s only one empty seat on a plane, it’s always next” to me?” asked Pleau, who is completing his first full year as general manager and coach of the Hartford Whalers. “It never used to be that way.” Pleau has been with the Whalers for 10 years, first as a player, then as an assistant coach and now as the head honcho. He has learned much in his first tour, much about his team, much about the organization, and much about himself. “I came in here talking about professionalism, but believe me, I wasn’t professional enough,” he said. “When I was a player, I had all the answers.

Flames Fighting: Selves And Others
