You think they would have learned post-Peters what the alternative would be.
These loafers about to get a kick in the pants. I expect JG gone by summer.

I just worry that he's still not the right coach for this group.

Darryl got tired at screaming at the TV like the rest of us, and just said: "Screw it, nobody else wants to fix this mess, I guess it's my job!"

This team does seem like it needs that type of Leadership in a bad way. Won't be boring.

That’s a message to the players.
He has more term than Johnny.
He has more term than Tkachuk.
He has more term than Gio.
He has the same term as Monahan.
The guys seen as the “Core” of this team just got a message that this is their coach and he’s not going anywhere while they are on these contracts.
