Seemed like this had to happen. I still think Sutter is a brilliant coach, but he went a little too far with his antagonizing tactics this season. You can't really do that in this day and age. Would have been nice to see him finish his time with the franchise on a brighter note.
I wonder if that's it for him as a coach in the NHL or if he gets another shot somewhere.
