The mental side of the game is really where this team has struggled and I loved Darryl putting Francis in his place .....NO there NOT familiar with ME .....they are familiar with winning.
Darryl removed EGO from the equation 100% in stating that to Francis . Sure he wants to win the Stanley CUP but Darryl knows damn well he is just directing, managing, recommending and mentoring his players , coaches , scouts , Agms, etc.
Knowing your systems, culture, linemates, team mates and coaches intimately is going to help this team immensely.
I'm very excited to see a different approach this year. I hope for the players and organizations point of view they embrace this , adopt it, believe it , eat , drink and sleep it......this can be a refreshing change rather than just concentrated hatred of the past using confirmation bias to just be down and negative and pessimistic about everything .
So glad puck drop is soon. So glad Darry is back with great assistant coaches as well in Muller and MacLean.

Agreed. Darryl could sell me anything.
On another note, I do remember past camps with Gulutzan and Peters amd Ward and wondering why on earth the team was not down to their lines earlier in camp to get chemistry going. Didn’t make sense to this outside observer.
