Flames fire Geoff Ward, name Darryl Sutter head coach

[SeanMoneyHands]

Sutter hasn't aged well. He looks ancient now.

Tough to argue against Sutter's record..

Chicago - 3 yrs - 3 playoff appearances
San Jose - 5.3 yrs - 5 playoff appearances
Calgary - 2.7 yrs - 2 playoff appearances - 1 Stanley Cup final
Los Angeles - 6 yrs - 4 playoff appearances - 2 Stanley Cups

17 yrs - 14 playoff appearances - 2 Stanley Cup wins / 1 Stanley Cup loss

You are no doubt an ageless Adonis.

Most would still describe Sutter as bargain bin....

Lol there is definitely no bias in cherrypicking which stats you'd like to showcase.

Most fans are surprised he even got a head coaching job, don't act like this is highly sought after coaching grab

How is that cherry picking? He coached for 17 years and that's his coaching record for those 17 years.

Really? I didn't realize you had surveyed most fans. Can I see those poll results?

It just lists his successes over a 17 year career. None of the negatives, especially recently.

There's a reason he was fired and has been available.

When he was 42 he looked 72, what did you expect?

Best coach LA ever had. Really liked his physical forechecking system. LA during his tenure hit, and hit often and just ground opponents to a pulp. Of course personnel had a lot to do with it as well, but I'm not an overly huge fan of the charmin-soft p***y style now days.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

It lists both wins and losses.
All coaches get fired and my understanding was that, until recently talking to Treliving, he wasn't interested in coaching again. He also said that there was only two teams that he'd be interested in coaching... Calgary and Chicago... and zI'm pretty sure even you can figure out why those two teams.

Even me? So now you're resorting to insults because I don't agree with you? Mature.

I get you're irrationally happy that Suter is your teams one hope to not miss the playoffs by a country mile but calm down. You can convince yourself this is the greatest coaching hire of the past decade, doesn't make it true.

Don't bother replying, I'm blocking you. I have no desire to converse.

 

[Sharks2020]

Calgary definitely needed a change, didn't expect Sutter to be hired but I think it’s a good move.

But..but.. some players that played for him may not have liked him or his coaching style. Daniel Carcillo, who played 26 games under Sutter, said he was a bad man.

I think the reason most people are surprised is because Darryl hasn't seemed like he's wanted to get back into head coaching. His resume speaks for itself.

Well I didn't play for him so not my concern. I just got to sit in the comfort of my home and watch him lead my team to 2 cups

 

[ShotDownInFlames]

Might not be an immediate fix. But there couldn’t be a better man to get the organization back on a better track. The cream rises to the top.

Plus, as assistant coach in 91-92 with Chicago, made Stanley Cup final.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

If Sutter wanted to coach prior he would've been coaching in the NHL. It's crazy some people are acting he's some dumpster hire coach that hasn't had any relevant recent success when he's won 2 of the last 9 cups coaching players still in the league.

 

[Deegee]

Plus, as assistant coach in 91-92 with Chicago, made Stanley Cup final.

He's a borderline hall of fame coach for his abilities and his record over multiple eras. He has always been able to find ways to win no matter what the flavor of play is (high scoring prior to dead puck era of mid 90s, dead puck era, new era post lockout, modern era). I cannot believe people dog on him the way they do, it's absolutely ludicrous.

 

[BM14]

Had the same thought looking at you in your rec league picture with mismatched socks.

Mismatching socks makes you a better player. Try it and maybe you can play on more than one men's league team too.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

This is a big hire. Sutter has a history of getting his team to perform in the playoffs with his defensive mindset.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

I consider the flames a borderline favorite now in the no defense north with this hire. They clearly had some talent but need to play the right way (ala Washington).
