That’s because coaching doesn’t actually make as big of a difference as some like to believe it does. All the bargain bin/elite coaching rhetoric that went through CP for years and yet, Darryl’s coaching bump might be the worst of all the coaches. Ward at least had a 7 game winning streak en route to a playoff appearance, Bill Peter’s 50 win season and Gulutzan’s 1st year playoff berth.
That’s not to say Darryl is a bad coach. The guy has 2 Stanley Cup rings for a reason. But perhaps, team success is a lot more complicated than just the overly simplistic 1 + 1 = 2 kind of stuff.
