If one were to believe some of the fans around here, the Flames were the least talented collection of slugs in the NHL. If you believe that, then the only conclusion is that Sutter must be the greatest coach to ever coach.
And he is a great coach. But a coach can only do so much. The players have to play. And maybe we have to also admit that they aren't such a talentless cesspool of toxic waste after-all.

Well, I think it just emphasizes how bad his predecessors were. Again, see Tuchel with Chelsea - Rudiger goes from not even being on the bench to best defender in Europe. Maybe coaching matters.
