It's actually part of the topic of why Lombardi was told not to hire Sutter. Around the league a lot of people really did think he was a bad hire for the Kings but that was mostly to do because of the stink of his work as GM for the Flames. He was viewed as a bit of a dinosaur. It overshadowed the fact that he was always a fantastic coach and won everywhere he went.
