Really nobody outside of Calgary is happy Darryl is back behind the Flames bench. The opposition knows that they are going to have to work their bags off to compete with the Flames. No more of this getting out on them early and coasting to easy wins. Opposition media and fans can spin the boring angle but the reality is that they realize the teams they cover/cheer for are no longer guaranteed of a playoff spot as the Flames are going to be a factor in the North Division playoff race.
