Sutter is a coach who could take this team all the way. Best coach in franchise history in terms of getting results.

He's also the coach who buried Ruzicka, Phillips, and to a lesser extent Pellettier and Coronato. He had to go.

I wish he had been more open to playing youth regularily and not having a double standard for 24 year olds vs 24 year olds.

Young, hungry, fast teams have an edge over aging, accomplished veteran teams. We see it throughout the season, arguably we saw it when Florida knocked off Boston yesterday too.

Wish Darryl all the best. I wish Markstrom had shown up against the Oilers in last year's playoffs and gotten us to the Cup.

Hopefully whoever is next (Mitch Love is making an impeccable case!) can guide this team forward, even if the first year is more akin to Bednar's first year. Is our first lotto protected?
