It reminds me of the huge failure that was his brother Brent, saying the team lacked talent, and therefore had to play 'his way' to be successful. Now Darryl is doing the same thing, essentially saying the team lacks the talent to be successful unless they play his way.
Sorry, but that doesn't fly. You've handcuffed their creativity, and now you blame them for a lack of it. Sorry, but that's a fireable offense IMO.

I have had the same feeling as well just the product on the ice and the way the coach has handled.
Brent pretty much lost the team when they started 4-0 and he kept blasting them after wins saying its not the right way.
Saturday really spoke volumes he plays his "bums" the same amount as Lucic and the boys. After the game he says he needs someone to score but you spent the entire year saying you don't have anyone on the team who can score so you need to pump 40 shots from the outside on net.
Reminded me of when Brent went on his little tirade before a game vs Detroit about playing the right way and every line playing the same. Well if you want your creative players to grind it out along the boards don't be surprised you don't score and win as much.
The game has changed a lot. You need to allow your star players some leeway.
