Why? He became Florida's coach by default, inherited a juggernaut, was out if his depth and thoroughly out-coached in the playoffs.I really want Brunette

Who knows? I'm not evaluating assistant coaches.Isn't Brunette one of the big reasons the Devils are the way they are right now? Especially with offense?
Rookie coach losing to Jon Copper isn't exactly unexpected. But I like the fact he was thrown into the fire did a pretty great job in the regular season was able to get the most out of our most expensive player, played a fun style of hockey to watch, and he has had a year to reflect on his mistakes and learn from them while being sn assistant on good team. As much as I would like to give Mitch a chance brunette has more experience especially with HuberdeauWhy? He became Florida's coach by default, inherited a juggernaut, was out if his depth and thoroughly out-coached in the playoffs.
Experience Flames hockeyYou guys have probably the best AHL coach, why letting him go elsewhere ?
You need to start somewhere to get experience. Look at John Cooper in TB, didn't had any NHL experience before getting the job.Experience Flames hockey
Gallant is an excellent choice as well. Lines up well with your window and Huby and him worked well togetherWhy not both?
Andrew Brunette: Head Coach
Mitch Love: Associate Coach
Kirk Muller - adios
No they shouldn’t have gotten rid of him last offseason BUT they shouldn’t have given him an extension either. Sutter gets 3 seasons max before he pisses everyone off not sure why they thought it would be differentTotally right. Stupid Sutter supporters and their single shared brain cell, the Flames totally should have fired him immediately after he took home the NHL‘s best coach award. That sounds so much smarter that letting him continue with his system that got him that award. And he didn’t even have a captain that season either. Stupid Sutter supporters.
Guy is an asshole… not a surprise to anyone but those blinded by clout.How a fiercely defiant Darryl Sutter lost the room, and his job, in Calgary
After a disappointing 2022-23 season, some players said a coaching change was essential to turn around the team's fortunes.theathletic.com
Non-Paywall:
In less than a year Sutter destroyed his legacy and reputation. In the minds of a lot of fans he will now be thought of as a bitter, stubborn, and angry old man who sometimes went out of his way to embarrass and belittle others.
Good riddance.
By all accounts he lost the room approximately 130 games into his 2nd stint as HC of the Flames. That has to be a record for any SC winning coach. Sutter is a petty bully with zero people skills and that just doesn't fly nowadaysLmao. He lost the room, like every nhl coach in history. Calm down.
You clearly have an agenda here, so I hope you got some sweet gratification from your clickbait thread on the main board. You look really foolish posting the poorly written requote articles of the original Strang article, in which she just recounts Darryl Sutter's career, with all of the good and the bad. Nothing to see here.By all accounts he lost the room approximately 130 games into his 2nd stint as HC of the Flames. That has to be a record for any SC winning coach.

Speaking of “agendas” I don’t understand why you are so defensive of the guy still. The team made it clear they didn’t appreciate the Pelletier comments or the huberdeau ones. There was an alleged physical altercation, and he was fired after the Gm left because the guys were done with him. He doesn’t coach for Calgary anymore and there is no leg to stand on, so is he like your godfather or something?That Win Column article is so poorly written. It clearly made it out without even one proofread. That John MacKinnon is so bad. Not to mention it's a clickbait requote of the Athletic's nothing article.
Where am I defending him? Other than saying he's a good coach, with an equal number of glowing reviews and bad ones as far as dealing with players, I know he's a dick who lost the room. I'm talking about this hyperbolic, inaccurate nonsense about toxicity and abuse. I don't like people running wild with clickbait horseshit. He's gruff with the media and hard on his players. That's it. I doubt anybody here read the Athletic article. You just saw the hockeyfeed headline, "SERIOUS ACCUSATIONS" and felt very gratified. There were no accusations.Speaking of “agendas” I don’t understand why you are so defensive of the guy still.

He didn’t just lose the room, but alienated the entire organization and was way offside with his attitude.
I did read the article lol.Where am I defending him? Other than saying he's a good coach, I know he's a dick who lost the room.

Please post the direct quotes from Flames personnel/players that say his tenure was toxic and abusive. No Valji/Francis/Seravalli spitballing speculation permitted.I did read the article lol.
Just making it clear, you would not describe his tenure as toxic and abusive?
