He demoted a 24 year old Noah Hanifin and promoted his 37 year old captain, Mark Giordano and is playing him #1 minutes. Darryl's lifespan as a coach seems pretty short as his shtick wears thin, so I don't know, maybe Darryl dies a hero or eventually lives long enough to see himself become a villain. Guess time will tell.
Not taking a dig but I find this thought very surprising, and it's been voiced a few times. Darryl is not a dummy... he's a Stanley Cup winning coach who surely knew what this Flames team was well before Brad called his cell.
