I think that's exactly why all the hate and farfetched takes on a coach that has won twice in the last decade and isn't even old on the spectrum of NHL coaches.
Darryl has stated more than once he's only here to wring everything he can out of this team to capture another cup. He's going to use his whole bag of tricks and be pushing the guys start to finish every game. Its a 'win now' situation for him.
Two points will have to be earned here on out and the complexion of the race has pretty well changed overnight.
