I think it was a reference to the Oilers and Avs, but it always rubbed me the wrong way. I can only imagine how the Flames top players would perceive it.

Sutter has always relished in playing the underdog card and by no means did he mean disrespect towards Johnny and Tkachuk. It was a strategic play that he used in 04 and during his cup runs in LA.
He wasn’t sugarcoating it this year though. The team did not have a lot of high skill or elite talent. Can’t argue that when you compare to the playoff teams.
