The new NHL confused him. And in that confusion he made a lot of mistakes. I think he learned from those mistakes and he's applying what he learned to his new job as coach of the King. All he ever really had to do is stick with what he knew which was hard-nosed hard-working hockey.

I guess all I'm saying is that I find it hard to be mad. I was part of the "in sutter we trust" crowd and man did we get burned.
Feaster is doing the best he can, and he needs to ice some semblance of a hockey team out there. St. Louis, Chicago, Pitt, were GARBAGE for years and years before they got their crap together.
Calgary's biggest problem is thinking they were a contender the last three years and not selling at the deadline and reloading. But if you look at the last two years of drafting, I can't think of the last time I was this excited about our prospect pool. Maybe they won't pan out, but I think there could be some really exciting players there. Sutter literally
wasted first round draft picks.
