[turnagainoutlaw]

Helllllll yessssssss!!!!!

 

[super6646]

Oh f*** no

 

[Mobiandi]

This might be the first coaching hire the team will respect

 

[TheHudlinator]

Oh boy does that mean next year is the magical run to the finals? Assuming of course it's like last time we hired this Sutter

 

[User1996]

Woah. That’s shocking.

Hopefully he’s a bit more modern. I don’t think this team can succeed with dump and chase

 

[lawrence]

I thought he retired. Sutter.

Shocked and awed

Treliving just wants to give the boys a gift before he leaves

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I am so f***ing happy.

To be honest it wouldn’t shock me if this move was above his head.

 

[Mobiandi]

If this team can't get up for Sutter, then we have our answer

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

oh oh oh uuuh

To be honest it wouldn’t shock me if this move was above his head.

Literally just finished saying these exact words to my wife.

 

[Mobiandi]

To be honest it wouldn’t shock me if this move was above his head.

This definitely feels like he was given an ultimatum - hire our guy or you're out the door too

The guy is a Calgary flames legend coach. Our only cup final in the last 30 years. He walks into the room and just the demand for respect is already there. However , his coaching style is far outdated . I don’t like the idea for his reputation alone, I fell like this will end bad.
