So now, we're not making the playoffs, we're 2 points away from last place in the west. We've had to trade away our captain and one of our best D-men. And we see the leaders that remain sulking.
So with all that being said, I think that Brent is a good coach (given his pedigree and his results prior to Calgary), but the organization has moved on. Hartley is the coach let's see what he can do with the core that's left and the kids coming in.

Playing under Brent Sutter's system is what saved Tanguay's career. He played so poorly in tampa bay nobody but the flames offered him a contract and playing under Brent allowed him to salvage his career.
I suppose hockey players aren't known for being smart...shocking if it's true.
