From the archives... Healy making an ass out of himself

All those wonderful rule modifications in the National Hockey League's new ice age, proclaimed the TV dude, will effectively serve to take coaching out of the game. The implication, seemingly, was the skill of players -- not the tactics of bench bosses -- would rule the day.

Calgary Flames head coach and general manager Darryl Sutter smiled wryly upon hearing the theory.

"As far as taking coaching out of the game," he retorted, "I would say the coaches who consistently do a good job, that's usually where the players have the most success."

Sutter then asked about the identity of the hypothesis' author -- TSN's Glenn Healy. The simple clue "a former goaltender" was more than enough to put Sutter on the right track.

"A former backup goaltender, right?" quipped the Flames boss. "Well, he didn't do a very good job for his coaches."
