LETS GO BABY

It’s Mitch LOVE time now. LFG

Florida fan: hire Bruno but bring in legit special teams coaches.

Weegar and Huby did excellent with the Q/Bruno system. Bruno just can't coach special teams well and needs to learn how to make playoff adjustments

 

[Janks]

Bless

Well, new GM and new Coach.
Wonder what the time frame is on hiring replacements.
Should be interesting.

 

[Kahvi]

Re-build seems impossible and with $8M already spend on coaching without a coach, I wonder if the ownership is willing to do even re-tool. Gonna be interesting who the coach and GM are, and what's gonna happen to 2024 UFA's. So many possibilities where the Flames might go I'm not gonna speculate anything more than that.

Re the $8 million extension for Sutter….
Sharp business people like Edwards do not put out contracts that don’t have “exit considerations “. Imagine Sutter will receive a fraction of the face value over time. This won’t be a financial factor moving ahead.

This bodes well for Coronato and Pelletier

 

[Deen]

This made my day, best news ever. Just let Conroy be GM and make Iggy the coach.

 

[Master Bill]

Great news. Now bring in someone who will bring positivity and get the best out of everyone and is willing to take chances on young players.

Just like how the Oilers did with greasy Woody, I'd be open to Mitch Love being HC.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Nice glad that is over maybe we can actually score a couple goals a game now

 

[viper0220]

The new GM should pick his coach and the coach the new GM picks, should get to pick his assistants.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

The nightmare is over!

 

[super6646]

Good f***ing riddance.

Completely ruined the product this season and made life hell for the fans and evidently quite a few ppl in the organization, as well as the the players.

 

[BRobMint]

Thanks for the great things you’ve done for the Flames Darryl. I just think at the end of the day, the NHL has passed his way of thinking by

 

[Mobiandi]

Is this the only news coming out?

Because we're just spinning our wheels if we run it back with the same goaltender coaching, the same assistants and Kirk Muller as head coach under GM Craig Conroy.

Everyone needs to go.

At the same time, it leaves a really sour taste in my mouth having two virtual strangers on the biggest contracts in team history run a coach out of town in their first season here. I would love to trade both if it was even possible

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Should have happened before December.

 

[herashak]

There’s something extra energy zapping about a conceited old guy telling you how things work.

But I definitely respect Sutter for the work he put in here, this team looked like a midget AA team the way they were breaking out before he was here

Was it just "two virtual strangers" - if it was reported that other players under contract weren't happy with Sutter? Lindholm and Backs both had comments that indicated they weren't happy, I'm sure Pelts wasn't thrilled with Sutter's comments after his first game either. Just not loving the blame being put just on 2 players.

Lindholm and backs have been here for quite a while…

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Wonder if this means Love gets a look at coaching considering how good the Wranglers have been.

Interesting fact of the day.
