Come on, man. Leave this chintzy stuff aside, it doesn’t move the conversation forward.
If I read you wrong, what did I read wrong? Is there something that is his fault? What do you think Huberdeau needs to own and how do we recognize unfair criticism when a lot of what is brushed off doesn’t seem to be impacting anyone else even half as much?

What happens if we change coaches and all of a sudden Huberdeau starts playing and Marky starts stopping pucks?

And you know the easiest solution to this is to swap the coach, because an 8 year/8 figure contract is tough to move. But what then? Is the entire team from goaltender to coach supposed to be built around one winger? That seems wild.
I wouldn’t be upset if the Flames fired Sutter because realistically it’s the easiest option to try to get things working. But knowing you canned a cup-winner to appease a winger that’s never even done anything in the playoffs? Oof. Not exciting.
