Darryl Sutter is a great coach, probably one of the best of this generation, so this is not meant to take anything away from him. Every year one of his teams that had truly exceptional seasons, he also had extraordinary players in their primes. Iginla, Kiprusoff, Roenick, Chelios, Belfour, Kopiitar, Quick, Doughty (yeah he was really good at one point).

Sutter may have been the glue that brought everything together, but those teams had some of the best players in the league for their positions. I just don't see those types of players emerging on the Flames this season.

No coach can work miracles. They can only work with what they have. I really hope I am wrong.
