			The whole team (minus Sutter's favs) should march into the GM's office and tell him fire the idiot coach or trade us.

			Sutter has been both the best thing for this franchise and the worst thing for this franchise over the past 20 or so years. 
 
It's run it's course though. It has to end here. 
 
There is no way to condone that decision tonight.

Why would anyone not point out that Fox was never going to sign?  
 
You think Treliving has made only two trades?
 
Chances are Treliving won’t be back.  But it won’t be because he was fired.

I hate this argument so much. It's a big hockey community. Who comes in may be yet another nobody, or a familiar face, but could do a better job than Brad. The bar honestly isn't that high. 
 
Not a single season with back-to-back playoffs. (Not including the play-in playoffs in 2020) Go through a billion mediocre coaches. And lose two of your most important players in a single off season. Very impressive.

			You have your top two scorers on the bench in a must-win game and you opt to gamble on a 4th line player with one shootout attempt in the past 5 seasons. 
 
And then you decide not to let either of those two guys take the next shot? 
 
Idiocy. Pure idiocy. There is no other way to describe it. That will go down in history as one of the most mind-numbingly stupid coaching decisions in Calgary Flames history.

The whole league knew Fox was going to NY like his dad
 
Throw away?  Flames have Lindholm and Hanifin still
 
Canes have Fox in NY, Dougie in NJ
 
That was a good trade guy
