We got players who want to be here.

The point I was making was not whether JonnyG/MT wanted to play for Sutter, but that their play was very good and Sutter system seems to work well when he has a pair of elite players. The guys that have come in have to share some of the blame. If this leads to a coaching change will they improve or will they rule the roost? In the past we have had coaches come in but the players were often inconsistent and didn't always show up .Remember GG teams during that period of inconsistency, he kept saying they were not playing the system. They came accross as slow and didnt appear to be hard working teams.
I guess the question is, how many coaches do the Flames need before the players respond? There is plenty of blame to go around including Sutter. It could be he is frustrated too, that certain players are not responding like they do in a contract season. Honest question, what do we do if they don't respond to a new coach?
