Well what has happened since? Tkachuk's antics have gone way... Way down. He is clearly putting his focus on his game which has never been better.
My guess is that the leadership of the team knew there was an issue but they didn't know how to put it and it was a communication breakdown. Enter Darryl to make things clear:
-if you're going to be an antics guy, your team needs to be good.
-if your team is good, leave most of that stuff alone until the playoffs when every night can, should and will be a battle
The impact Darryl has had on the team's two stars who seemed lost before he got here has been incredible. He broke a couple of prize horses and this city reaps the reward for however long that is.
