VIDEO: Ex-NHL coach Mike Keenan loses his mind over KHL penalty call

Frank Polich / USA Today

Mike Keenan hasn't coached an NHL game since 2009, but he can still be seen arguing penalty calls with the fury of a thousand suns halfway around the world.

Keenan was hired as head coach of the KHL's Metallurg Magnitogorsk in 2013, leading the franchise to a Gagarin Cup in his first season, becoming the first coach to win championships in both the NHL and KHL.

The 65-year-old still possesses the same intensity that became his trademark in the NHL, which he demonstrated during a game against HC Lada on Friday. Keenan disagreed with a penalty call against his team, vehemently insisting it was a dive instead.

Never change, Iron Mike.
