The thing is, Darryl isn’t exactly known for being a dominant regular season coach which could be a problem here. Maybe the COVID format helps us as he seems to be able to figure teams out and shut them down the more he sees him.
Exactly. This season's division set-up plays perfectly into his 7-game playoff mindset, and he'll be able to make those changes effectively like all the other teams seem to do to us easily.

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.
This versions better (at least until the end, but its still good)
Let's hope Daryl can get the boys back in this shape, these men would have died for each other out there and it showed.
Maybe we go get big Rich to come assistant along side the eliminator
I don't think this is as accurate these days...head to heads will decide things IMO.
Two wins this weekend would go a long way. Do that and Darryl starts even with the Oilers for a playoff spot
Plus he was already calling for that in the conference.
Said he talked to the guys on Zoom. Then later said the first step is to win these two games. Think it's pretty safe to assume he made the stakes clear to the players on his early Zoom call.
Long story short but Carcillo has been credibly accused of some terrible white supremacy stuff that he wasn’t remotely transparent about even after he had claimed to be “changed”
And the “we need to dig into the truth” media crowd spent a total of zero seconds digging into those truths
Would thank, but out of thanks, so... thanks!

Don't know how others feel about this but I'm a little less concerned about playoffs so much as I'm looking at the rest of this season as an audition of sorts for the team. I want them to make the playoffs, but I'm very curious to see how they perform, or more importantly who doesn't.

TBQH it's less about whether or not they make the playoffs, but how they look doing it. If they look like they've turned the ship around but fall short, it'll just make next season that much better.
If they continue to look listless... well, that's why they signed Sutter for 3 years, and I assume more changes will be made.

People forget that when he took over from Gilbert that’s pretty much what happened - they missed the POs (his only PO miss in his career at the time), and then he made his changes.

I remember it well. Be interesting to see how much history repeats!

Right, but look at that roster: Stephan Yelle and Oleg Saprykin were top-six scoring forwards. Rob Niedermayer was a second-line centre. Roman Turek was the staring goalie, and Jamie McLellan won a grand total of two games.
That was honestly a pretty terrible team.

I think he can reel this group in in time to make the playoffs. I agree with Sutter the pieces are here. And it's now his job to milk em for what they're worth. Some players may fight tooth and nail but they'll cave.
I'm gonna call this era of this Flames core the "Time to grow up" era. And at the end of the day, we will finally know who's willing to go through a wall for a push to a cup and who doesn't have the intestinal fortitude for it.
Sutters gonna have a field day with these guys. Mostly because I expect a total buy in from most of them. But one or two are going to fizzle out as the mentaly not prepared.

Your point still stands but I believe there is next to no possibility that a Sutter coached team will be listless regardless of the players. Is it possible that a player or two may be? I doubt it but they won't be playing if they are.
What that site is good for is understanding what kind of record is required.
At least something like 17-11-4. Close to .600 hockey?
I get it and it might be accurate I just think this year it depends more on what games you win. Then you get the Habs and Oilers playing each other a bunch of times ect.
