Sutter is back...and he has allot of help.

Players on this team need to first and foremost realize that Sutter and Treliving have done everything they can to make this team a little tougher both mentally and physically.

Sprinkling in some guys thatve gone the distance and know the trials ahead helps.
I hope this takes some pressure off certain guys whove tried doing it all.....tried doing too much ....started with nothing and have most of it left.

There's nothing more inspiring to me than a coach that motivates, coaches, directs, knows what buttons to push and then also knows when to back off.

He once said.....dont get too high and don't get too low.

Darryl always looks at the positives and if you grab on and hang on long enough you learn how to compete, win, learn more, get stronger in all areas of the game.

We had a coach once by the name of Badger Bob and he was awesome. He could take anything bad and turn it into a positive and his players loved him for it.

Talk to any Flame alumni that player for BOB.....they'll tell ya....Darryls not much different.

This season as had been said by a few will be intriguing.

Depth Will matter as will roster health. That's my only concern.
Darryls style is hard on a fella and there's no doubt about it.
But winning comes with costs that most of this roster knows nothing about .....and there about to get a crash course.

We have to stay healthy, put points in the bank early and not have any prolonged lulls.

I've watched this team and know what they do when they aren't confident. Now it's time to flip the switch and change the narrative.

It is time.

UNFINISHED business fellas!!

Makes me think of the Hawks bench years ago taunting Iginla and telling him he better get back in the gym because he wasn't dominating anymore.

Yeah....okay.....if I hadn't seen it first hand I wouldn't have believed it.

This season will be like that. As a fan yeah I have my doubts and my recency bias doesn't help but I've never walked away from this team .

1986 loss to Montreal....sad but proud.
1989 win against Montreal....woo hoo.
2004 (it was in) man what a helluva year and still carry a little pride today.

2021/2022 __________

Hang on tight....long season ahead for sure but enjoy the ride.

Go Flames Go.
