Flames fire Geoff Ward, name Darryl Sutter head coach

[Mobiandi]

Treliving's on the hot seat. There's no way he approved this

 

[turnagainoutlaw]

My favorite coach ever in LA. Dude has a short shelf life tho. Hard to see him behind the bench of another team again.

Hey he was ours first man!

 

[Zirakzigil]

Sutter is exactly what the Flames core needs. Timing is rather odd though. One thing for sure is Bennett wont get moved. Wouldnt shock me to see Kylington getting some ice time now.

 

[RalphKing]

Holy f***

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

That's a long time.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Oh joy, another dinosaur to save the day.

This was ownership mandated. No way Treliving would willingly bring in Sutter.

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

Even in other teams' coach firing tweets the Sabres get recognized for not firing theirs....lol.

 

[super6646]

Who isn’t a retread in this sport? No league rides the merry-go-round more than this one does, no imagination

I mean outdated ones. Boudreau would've been just fine.

 

[raswilliam]

no more f*cking around in calgary.

 

[Del Preston]

Didn’t he win tonight? Lol

Geoff Ward pulled off a George Costanza and is going out on a high note.

Five coaches in under seven seasons for Treliving. I am sure that 5th coach will turn these boys into a consistent bunch. I can see him completely demoralizing guys like JG and Monohan lol

Oiler fan taking shots at coaching changes.

It's a close one...

Since 2010...
Oilers - 7 head coaches
Flames - 6 head coaches

Since 2000...
Flames - 11 head coaches
Oilers - 9 head coaches

 

[Kuznetsnow]

I can't believe they hired this stupid idiot who won 2 cups in 3 years over guys like Boudreau and Gallant who won 0 cups in infinite years

 

[FerklundCGY]

I was Team Sutter or Team Boudreau all the way in the summer.

Tonight... is a happy night.

Get outta here Geoff Ward

 

[explore]

jfc they brought back the farm boy

honestly like the move for Calgary. Even if Sutter doesn't last more than 2 or 3 seasons, he'll get that roster ready to compete every night

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Too many dinosaurs in Alberta.

Jesus Christ, Calgary.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

How many coaches does treliving get.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

This may be the coach to get Bennet going.

Playing physical and hard isn’t bennetts issue. He’s one of their players that brings it every night.

 

[swiftwin]

Sens strike again!

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

How many coaches does treliving get.

All of them

 

[Hunter368]

Too many dinosaurs in Alberta.

Jesus Christ, Calgary.

That's clever........well done.

 

[tfong]

Dutter is great. Just don't let him be the GM and we peachy.

 

[Mobiandi]

All of them

Might be the guy who has the balls to split up Gaudreau and Monahan

 

[Zirakzigil]

Playing physical and hard isn’t bennetts issue. He’s one of their players that brings it every night.

Bennett needs coaching, direction and a coach willing to work with him. Sutter will give him all of that. I like this move for Bennett, hopefully Kylington gets a fair shot now too.

One thing is for sure, mentally or physically this core is going to get broken down. Either man up and start playing hard, or youre gone.

 

[Snakepit]

Well at the least, I can see guys like Bennett, Tkachuk and Mangiapane doing really well under Sutter

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

LMAO even when you beat the Sens, your coach still gets fired.

 

[DRAGO 18]

The cows are surely going to be lonely for the next few years.
