It has to end tonight, if nothing more than waivers and let him sort it all out in Charlotte for a long time, go with Curtis and Mrazek and just end the misery with Darling in net. Dundon is simply going to have eat that Darling contract one way or another.
Can’t afford to keep playing Darling. He has the unfortunate luck of playing poorly and the team responds in kind with him in net. Please stop the bleeding and cut him loose.
For the record, I honestly don't think Darling has played all that badly, but the team obviously lacks confidence in the guy. They play tight and timid in front of him. The combination of the two is NEVER going to work. Now ... Darling hasn't helped matters at times by simply refusing to make a save in crucial situations. If the dude could play the way he did against Chicago a couple of weeks ago, the boys in front of him would fall in line soon enough. But he just doesn't seem to have that game in him against much of anyone else.
I'm done with the guy and I hope the team is as well. It's just not worth it.
