How do you go from Jack Adams to being fired in under a year?
Agree with everything that's been said however.
I hated the "take a s**t" presser and the "what number was he" comments.
Things have changed so much lately it seems. Maybe NHL locker rooms do need to be "safe spaces" to get the most out of players.
It's a sad day. I will always respect and admire Darryl.
Wish he could have completed the "unfinished business".

probably not so much that as the fact players now demand some respect and no longer have to put up with being treated like crap.
