from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
The many faces of Darryl Sutter are familiar to most hockey fans across Canada.
Those in Calgary have especially vivid memories of the man who arrived in 2003 as a saviour and departed nine years later on a cross, guilty of mismanaging the salary cap and leaving the Flames with an aging, overpriced roster.
Now, depending upon the day, you can run across Rustic Darryl, Charming Darryl or Sourpuss Darryl at the Los Angeles Kings training facility, where the NHL team is patiently awaiting the start of its second-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the St. Louis Blues.
Sometimes, you can find yourself face to face with Mumbling Darryl, Grumbling Darryl, or – during these past few days – Chatty Darryl or Gregarious Darryl. Engaging Darryl has made the occasional appearance.
Once play starts again in the Western Conference, you’re more apt to get Reticent Darryl or Confrontational Darryl or even Contrarian Darryl, depending upon the situation and message the head coach wants to impart.
