As he is a former player, I also trust his ability to recognize when players aren’t bringing it every night. Rhett was a warrior of a player and never mailed it in. I think he gets really offended watching other players do it.
He mailed it in for the last part of his career absolutely. Always coming to camp out of shape.
Can't look at him as a professional.
Looking at the thanks your post got not surprising it's the Sutter loving guys and Huberdeau is the worst player ever lmao

I'm a fan of both Sutter and Huberdeau. They were both at fault, the blame isn't solely on either. But neither were good enough at their jobs last year. I'm expecting more from Huberdeau this year.

Thanks for getting back to me….. nice of you to take a break from your Dungeons and Dragons and reply before you ate the grilled cheese sandwich your mom made you. Complete joke, chirping a retired professional athlete. Too bad Pros vs. Joes wasn’t still a thing, would love to see you take the ice against Rhett……that’s if you can skate of course.
They had Robyn Regehr on couple of days ago and he gave a really long and interesting interview. They talked about everything from his life growing up, to his time as a player, and the current situation with the Flames. He also to a shot at the players last season who quit on the coach, in particular Huberdeau.

Good interview, always loved Reggie. Was kinda hoping they’d have some old stories from when him and Rhett played together.
Hearing Regehr talk about his car accident in detail was actually pretty crazy though. I knew about what happened, but to hear him talk about it was pretty eye opening. Hard to believe he was on the ice less than two months after the accident. Then played pro hockey a month or so after that
Love Reggie and all but all his Flames teams choked too other than 04
Game 7 vs. the Ducks? that was a sad performance
Rhett has talked about game 7 against Anaheim before. Apparently a bunch of guys went back to Rhett’s place after the game and had some pops. Somebody asked everyone, “what the hell happened? How did we lose this series?”. Apparently Stephane Yelle said it was because Darryl pushed them too hard. Down the stretch, it was all about winning the division. Darryl put so much emphasis on winning the division that by the time the playoffs rolled around, the team was completely burnt out

So Reggie and them did not quit on the coach they just couldn't try.
Loved the bit in part 1 about how Mike Keenan was the worst coach he's ever had. Pretty much mirrored what we all thought at the time; useless practices that were simply routines and never adapting or changing things up and having no idea what's going on. Frankly it's a miracle that the team played like it did off the back of Iggy's Hart-worthy performances, Kipper's reliabililty and Regher on the backend.
