Since he’s a public figure, he is going to have to prove in court that he is not a “dickhead”. The burden of proof is on him.

"One year, much later in his career when he was with the Rangers, I ended up getting him on eight minor penalties that season. I caught some heat for it from John Davidson on the Rangers' broadcasts, but the truth of the matter was this: I did NOT go out of my way to 'invent' penalties on Lindros -- or any player -- but I wasn't going to give that guy a break on anything borderline that I might have let slide with a player who had gained acceptability with me.

The last part of the sentence contradicts the first.

He didn't like the guy so he went out of his way to nail him on everything he could.

This is normally termed official harassment.
