Yeah, it's one thing to be a dick to the players in an attempt to get them ready for games. But to be a jackass to arena and support staff? He's not their boss. He should have no say in how they do their jobs. Hopefully he was told to #### off more than once.
Sutter had a long leash given his success in '04 and the respectability he brought back to the franchise afterwards. But IMO his legacy here will be tarnished after he won that Jack Adams. Always said it was like he was off his meds during the Phaneuf trade, but seems he did the same after the JA award ceremony. Good riddance.
The best revenge the players can have is to go on to have a great season and everyone pointing to how the change in coaching was the reason.
