"While Flames players continue to insist there were no problems inside the dressing room during Dion Phaneuf's tenure in Calgary, former coach Mike Keenan has a slightly different take.

Keenan confirmed to TSN that there were, in fact, issues with Phaneuf and his teammates.

According to the report, veteran players referred to Phaneuf as "Neon Dion" and found him "cocky at times."

Having said that, Keenan acknowledged enjoying his time coaching Phaneuf, one of the more competitive players he has dealt with.

As part of the story, Keenan added that former stars such as Jeremy Roenick, Chris Chelios and Ed Belfour all had their issues, but still played at a high level once the puck was dropped."
