Sad that the Flames management didn't right the ship when Sutter started to fall apart - either by convo with him or by moving him out THEN.
As to now: the players got their wish..."nice guys" everywhere. They damn well better play their asses off this year.

Can this garbage stop ffs.
None of the players cried or said give me the nicest coach ever.
Just like any good organization they did exit interviews and the players shared stories of what happened which probably included all the mental abuse coupled with the altercation and the management team investigated and fired the guy.
Many of these players have played for hard ass coaches and did really well, but Sutter took things too far its not a snowflake or nice coach thing.
Go listen to Andersson talk about Huska and how he can push you without the abuse part.
