I know this is a GM thread and not a coaching thread but it's always interesting to me how different comments and takes by the same people in charge (GM, Coach etc) are done to suit their own narrative.
Last year the Flames played incredible and had an excellent overall season. Sutter took a lot of pride and was taking swipes at the previous coaching staff with takes such as "They were the worst conditioned club I have seen, we got them sorted out" etc.
Do I believe previous coaches had the team "poorly conditioned?" not at all. Heck, we still have the same fitness and conditioning staff! The guy who helped the King's win the cup with Sutter!
Now all of a sudden the team doesn't look fast at all, they look older, slower, tired and out of touch. What's the excuse now?
