I still would have preferred Boudreau or Gallant, but there is no question Darryl is an exponentially better coach than Ward and has had proven success in this league.
I just worry that he's still not the right coach for this group.

Wow.... just seeing the news. I'm in shock!
I never saw this coming. I seriously thought BT was going to stick with Ward until the end of the season.
No excuses now.
EDIT: Wow... .just saw a 3 year deal too! Craziness!

No, I honestly thought they wouldn't have an immediate replacement if they did decide to fire him so since they didn't do anything yesterday or Tuesday as long as they won tonight they weren't going to finally pull the trigger.

Such a pity that there are no fans in the stands, can you imagine his reception.

This send a message to a lot of people.
To the players Darryl will be going no where. This is what bed you made.
To GM, we can pay for good talent. Maybe not the best, but better than you have done. Smarten up. Its your last one.
To themselves, we spend a dump load on these dim wits. We are salvaging our investment.

Treliving is going to look like a genius for
A) Hiring Sutter
B) Not giving up on Sam Bennett

I suspect this was ownership stepping in. I also suspect and hope Darryl will have a large say/voice at the table when it comes to constructing the roster. BT just went from the most powerful voice in management, to second. LOVE IT and for 3 years too.

Well, that was unexpected. I don't know if I've ever been more surprised with the Flames at 11PM on a Thursday night.
I like it.

Darryl will like Tkachuk’s compete in the play if it’s like last year. I’m not so sure about the “look at me - look how much I care” stuff.

Love Sutter the coach. He'll be strongly suggesting personnel changes I think. These boys can't play Sutter hockey.
