GDT: The Stars at night, are big and bright, clap clap clap clap DAL(5-1-1) @ CGY(2-6-1) 6:30pm MDT

[joescores]

Regardless of how we played or the improvements we have made...it doesn't matter. The only part that matters is 2-7-1.

Send Huberdeau to the press box and call up Klapka.

 

[DFF]

Sutter wouldn't have given a guy like Zary a chance it's a perfect reason he had to go.

Sutter got this same group almost made the playoffs with Markstrom played like shit. That’s coach of the year stuff.

He lost his mind when the wizard gifted him Huberdeau and Kadri. Who wouldn’t. Huska already lost it after 10 games.

Yes, he deserved to go because the room was poisoned but that’s a great coach. They are not even close to competitive on most nights now.

He was not the problem on this team unless you want to tank

 

[Body Checker]

Solid effort by the team last night but season pretty much toast now. Trade UFAs, maybe re-sign Zadorov.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Andersson playing 27 minutes is a little crazy

I'd be playing the top D-men like Andersson that much too Calgary's defense isn't very good...time to shed most vets not named Andersson and bring up Poirier,Morin to see what they can do...then go shopping for some D-men in KHL or SHL for some prospects and veteran replacements

Poirier is injured

 

[BRobMint]

I can live with loses like this. Kids play well while securing a higher pick

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Disappointing loss.

Zary had a hell of a debut.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Poirier is injured

What's the extent and how long?

 

[Kranix]

What's the extent and how long?

Arm slashed by skate. indefinite

Except his fear of playing prospects was the exact reason why he was the problem.

It's all about the big picture, not what happens in any given season. Did Sutter get more out of this group? Yes but to what end?

Could he have won a cup with this group? No. Could he have won a cup with this team give or take a few players within the next few seasons? No.

So what's the point? All Sutter did and does is delay the inevitable; that is the bottom falling out and the organization realizing they need a "significant retool".

Huska and Conroy for all their faults, are at least calling up the right prospects and giving them an actual fair chance to show what they can do. They might have been utterly delusion about how competitive this team is, but still they seem to be pivoting in the right direction. Maybe. We'll see.

What prospects are you talking about? Zary and his first game? Solovoyo and his cup of coffee? Ruzicka, Duehr and Pelletier got their first taste under Sutter.

It’s not like their system are full of prospects being hold back.

But you are right, I already said if you want to tank, Sutter was not the right coach. He never felt that was his job.

Coronato has played all year.

Sutter found a way to bench Ruzicka but constantly play lucic and the Ritchie despite Ruzicka being a more effective player. Sutter refused to play Valimaki or Phillips. Historically Sutter wants vets everyone knows this it was a poor fit, it made sense with Gaudreau and Tkachuk being here but it no longer does.
