Basiclly everyone was making fun of them and saying it was a crappy hire, fans and media, because they couldn't make the distinction between Darryl the coach and Darryl the GM, and Darryl the GM was fresh in everyone's minds.

But Flames fans were really reassuring to Kings fans, basically saying "Darry's been in Calgary for years, don't listen to the media, you're getting a great coach", and Kings fans kind fo clung onto that saying "Well, Flames fans keep saying it was a great hire, and they know him better than anyone".

A few years and two cups later, Flames fans were right.

A lot of the media think Flames fans are bitter to see Darryl have success.
