This season has been a prime example of that. Have tons of respect for the great things Sutter has done for the Flames org, but it’s time to move on

Sigh...there are a few reasons that Canada has a 30+yr dry spell going for a cup. Bagging out a hall of fame coach when the underlying defensive metrics say otherwise is as Canadian as snow on May long weekend.
15 more goals from Huberdeau / Mangiapane and 15 more stops from Markstrom and this team is easily in the playoffs.
They've got centre depth...defensive depth and what was once a top goalie.
Its sports, sometimes it doesn't go your way, but one of the ONLY natural advantages Calgary has at the moment is that there is a top coach that lives 2.5hrs away and feels he owes the city / franchise something.
Why are we throwing our one advantage away?
