Now we’ve all come to know that Darko is a player coach and we love that, but something he said in the new episode really stood out to me and made me like him even more.

“I’m not calling you out. I’m gonna call you up.”

Hearing that from our coach just inspired me and made me feel so much more excited for the team’s and player’s progress this season. Last year, Nick would call out his players right in front of the media, which pissed some guys off. And with a statement Boucher made recently that Nurse didn’t really talk to the guys all that much, it just had everyone in a negative space. Being called out in front of the media and fans and that was probably it, no 1 on 1 talk.

But here, Darko’s words just fill me with so much positivity. He’s not gonna call you out for a bad game, but he’s gonna call you up. How you can improve for the next one. This is the coach this team needs, this is the coach that’s gonna lead our team to blow everyone’s expectations away. WE THE NORTH!
