"We played well to a man" and then repeated same quote in interview says it all.
The center ice shooting comment infuriating. I hope Sutter plays that before the next BOA. Completely lost all respect for the guy. Classless move.
He clearly has no idea how to instill accountability in his players. Remarkable he has lasted this long. But pandering to your big guns in the McWindow era of the Oilers is probably how you have longevity in that role.

No one is happy with moral victories. People are just recognizing when the team plays well and still loses.
I assume that stating the team played wel, in spite of losing, is equivalent to a moral victory.
My opinion, Flames played well enough to generate shots and chances, but are plagued by the inability to convert. They played well, defended extremely well, yet the oilers were not only able to convert on their chances, their high danger chances were actual tough shots and credit to our goalie for making some crazy saves. Yet, skinner had a lot easier of a workload (shots to the chest), in spite of having to handle more shots, and shots from high danger areas.

It's the dumbest post regular season game coach interview I have ever seen.

Unfortunately, that could only happen in the playoffs now. And I hope it does. And I hope we stomp them with a delicious vengeance.
Haven’t we pretty consistently talked about the Flames taking low quality shots all season? Woodwhatever is just pointing out what we’ve been looking at all season. He’s still an asshat, but he’s not wrong in his assessment.
We’ll see if the way this team is playing “shot volume” will work out over an 82 game season. Through the first 36 games it isn’t working. The Flames are outside of the playoffs.
He's the very definition of wrong.
The Flames are 8th in the league for shot attempts per 60 minutes from the home plate area.
And they're now up to 11th in high danger attempts per 60.

On the whole, the Flames have generated a ton of low-quality shots this season. They rank third in shots/60 but 15th in high-danger chances/60. And a lot of those games were ones where the Flames basically stuck to the perimeter all night and barely tested the goalie.
But it's also very fair to point out that last night's game was very different from the rest.
Lindy, Toffoli, Backlund, Bread, Dube are what they are, which is fine.
JG still in the line up and we have 5 more wins on timely power play goals alone.
JG isn't bona fide sniper he is a playmaker first. Lindholm and Toffoli have more goals this season. He obviously wouldn't hurt but a Horvat type would put the Flames over IMO

Sutter probably laughs at schmucks like this
his only saving grace is McDavid. not his coaching, not his systems
"to a man" they looked like ####
McDavid is the reason he sees 100 games as an nhl head coach

What systems? Woodcroft doesn’t have systems, he is a clown boy coach who was brought in to be a puppet (oozing with irony based on his look) for Katz and the boys club. Now he is trying to be relevant in the media, complete unprofessional clown. Perfect coach to personify that team.
