I imagine Darryl will want his own guys at some point. Personally, I'd love to see Tim Hunter as an assistant behind the bench. And maybe someone that know how to coach defencemen!It's a solid hire. Oilers should have looked into that.
There's no way this guy didn't receive other calls in the last few years despite his so-called "retirement". He has been an incredibly successful NHL coach. I've been impressed since his days in San Jose. People consider him old because he started coaching very young and had lots of long gigs. But he's around the same age as many other current coaches.
He has already accomplished everything so he had the luxury to say "no" unless the perfect opportunity presented itself.
Really curious to see if/how this long time away from hockey will impact him.
Are the Flames keeping the rest of the coaching staff?
I already pointed out my stupidity, he adapted well with a good roster and was a fine post 2005 lockout coach comparatively.
Don't forget time zones. It was announced 1 hour after the game.WOW, in the middle of a game they are winning:
Maybe that came out wrong, I was sincerely asking were his teams just clutch and grab. I don't recall, and it wasn't that long ago LA won 2 cups. My recollection was they were big physical teams that rode good goaltending, and always recalled they were at the top of the league in Corsi, which proxies possession. The reason I point to this, is I am reading his methodologies are outdated, but CF% metrics and advanced stats really began when the Kings used this metric to win 2 cups. For the record, I don't think you can just pinpoint having a high CF% to winning. But to me, if possession metrics are still considered what the new age coaches use today, then Sutter would have been at the forefront of this.I already pointed out my stupidity, he adapted well with a good roster and was a fine post 2005 lockout coach comparatively.
I just hope he isn't the GM again. He sure sucked at that part.
with a big heavy Kings teamhe won 2 cups post lockout/rule change.
We play Edmonton after Calgary so....
Sutter actually had a quote saying that the key to defense these days is having the puck more than the other team. He was very much ahead of the curve with possession priority hockey.Maybe that came out wrong, I was sincerely asking were his teams just clutch and grab.

Which north division coach gets fired next lol
I remember him as a rookie.I feel like hes been 62 for 20 years.
At first blush, I would prefer Darryl Sutter's word over that of Dan Carcillo.I would guess that Sutter has a good understanding about lets say minorities and what handicapped people can face in life

It is the drafting and trading away all the first round picks lol. The Phaneuf deal was also badI've always been of the opinion that yeah, while he wasn't a great GM on record, I don't think he deserves as much criticism as he gets. I feel like some of the acquisitions and trades he did was because he got players he felt fit a role if he were coaching them but the coaches he hired didn't see or execute the same way he would have. Remember, he was one of the last people who did both coach and GM duties full time before ownership made him stick with GM. He even said during an interview once that he would have much preferred to be behind the bench.
His drafting record is pretty atrocious though.
Beat me to that. Think Scotty Bowman was a retread/dinosaur when he went to Pittsburgh AND Detroit too.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
No. Coaches with that long of a track record know their own deficiencies and find the people to fill those holes.He's literally been a farmer for the last 3 years. Will there be coaching rust?
