You could say that, but then the same is true regarding Brent Sutter. How come Iginla continues on playing for other teams, and Brent hasn't coached an NHL team since? Iginla has his defensive issues yes, but terrible coach is terrible. If he was any good at coaching he would still be coaching. Darryl's style of coaching works as he went on to coach the Kings for 6 years and just recently lost his job but also won the cup twice with them. Brent however drove our team into the ground, who was suppose to take us deeper into the playoffs and never made them once under his guidance, and has been out of the NHL since. Only just now have all three been without a team.That alone goes to show who was out of touch with what to the part you remember as you mentioned above.
