TSN: Darryl Sutter Article

[Ziggy Stardust]

Great read from James Duthie:

Snippet:

"There's a misconception about playing in Los Angeles," he explains. "We play hockey in Los Angeles, but we live in Manhattan Beach which is basically a small town. It's awesome - You can leave the rink and even at night after a game, you can be one minute to the ocean and walk a mile to one of the piers and back. And it's game over, you can start thinking about tomorrow."

Which is what he started doing, just days after winning that second Stanley Cup back in June. Thinking about the 82 tomorrows ahead this season. And possibly a couple months more worth in the spring. Something he believes is a very real possibility with this team. This old-school, hard-ass coach now speaks of his players like a proud father.

"The best part of being with the Los Angeles Kings is being able to coach this group," he says. "It gives me shivers to talk about because they are such an awesome group of athletes that know how to handle...(long Sutter
pause)...life. (Another pause)...And it's cool to see."

Good interview.

I like the segment where Duthie showed Kings players Sutter post game quotes and they had to guess if it was after a win or loss. Except for one, they got them all wrong.

You get the sense of how much he cares about his team and for 3 years now Post season, he's pushed all the right buttons.

The video that accompanied it was even better.

Instant classic.

With that last quote you can tell Darryl looks at this as not a job, but as a father (or father figure) teaching his own kids. Awsome article.

Not sure if its been posted, but theres a video of the sutter interview. I don't know how to post just the video but its on the right hand side http://www2.tsn.ca/bardown/ They also show some of the kings players snippets from Sutters post game interviews and they have to guess whether it was after a win or a loss. Pretty funny
