I don't think Darryl Sutter was hated by many players. Haven't heard much out of the Kings locker room since he got fired nor did you ever hear anything from Sharks or Flames players. Everyone knows he's demanding but fair. That's the main difference is that Hartley was also demanding but not fair with all players. I really can't believe posters are defending the guy as he is what he is and the fact he's out of the NHL just goes to show that teams feel his bully tactics aren't going to fly with their players.
