The narrative with Sutter has always been that he was tough in front of the camera, but behind the scenes he was a good guy (for the most part).
That didn't seem to be the case the last couple of years.
I don't think he was fired for on-ice results. The Flames just signed him to an extension that pays the man $3M per year. He has a relationship with Edwards. Do you think Edwards would swallow that if it was only about missing the playoffs?

I have no problem with him being fired with the reason being that many players no longer want to play for him. It's happened before in LA.
I do find it strange when people start attacking his character since the reason why players no longer want to play for him is speculation. It could be because he is an awful person, it could be that they don't like his coaching/communication style or it could be that they don't like the style he wants them to play. Anyone can speculate or hear from people "in the know" but no one on this board is in the room so I don't see a need to speculate or get worked up about rumours unless someone in the organization and directly comes out and says he is an awful person.
There is also no need to say things that are patently false like the game has passed him by or that he is not a good coach. Making false claims plus speculating on what an awful person he is while blaming last year entirely on him just makes the whole thing seem strangely personal.
We should all just move on and talk about how bad Huska is at coaching... lol jk... I think.
