I'm 100% behind Sutter. They sure dont sound like that have any interest in contributing to a team.
These are types of guys you dont want in your locker room and who wants to bet its one of our new guys?

Hell no.
The coach and players can take a hike. Fire the coach, rebuild the team.

I think a lot of us fans are looking at this too emotionally, and overreacting.
Again, the supposed best player on the team is not playing good enough. And the main goaltender has been suspect. Despite that, the Flames still have a pulse in the playoff race in the final stage of the season.
Other players on the rosters are performing near their norms, or exceeding it.
If Huberdeau performed closer to a star caliber player that he's advertised as, if Markstrom could've stop sinking the team for the first three quarters of the season, and if the top PP actually looked like they knew how to play hockey with a man advantage more often, this team would most likely be top in the conference.
Sutter deserves blame since he is the face of the team, but if one of those things above were different, there wouldn't be this talk of getting rid of the reigning Jack Adams award coach.
Losing sucks, and pisses people off. Good. It's better than being apathetic.
