personally I always found if you really listened to a Sutter presser he says ALOT even when he doesn't say much. way more informative than many that blabber on forever
Back when that arrogant arse Glenn Healey was doing color for CBC and was always criticizing any team that wasn't the Leafs or the Rangers I remember Daryl asking, how much did he play for that team that year? I'd say he didn't do a very good job for his coach.

I remember when Darryl drafted Backlund. He said "we wanted one of the two Swedish boys. Actually, Eller's a Dane and Backlund's a Swede. They are two skilled Swedish centers that we wanted"
Back when he was coaching in Calgary, they'd lost a close game, and a reporter asked Darryl what went wrong, and what they'd change for next game, and Darryl's answer was "I thought we played great."
And that's him a a tee in so many ways. a) he's not going to tell you anything even if he does make a change and b) losing isn't the same as playing poor.
Flames have been playing poorly, it's about to change, win or lose.

Darryl has only ever missed the playoffs in 3 out of his 18 seasons as head coach. Has 2 cups and has made at least the conference finals on 3 other occasions.
Beyond that, IMO the 3 years of this contract have a real chance of propelling him into the top 10 winningest coaches of all time!
Regarding Kyle Clifford being "banged up and not out there"
"He was out there; he gets here before you guys. Then he was doing Geiko commercial, then he was doing the weather with Channel 4 this morning. Up in the helicopter."
I got a kick out of Darryl talking to Pat yesterday
Right towards the end, he was complimenting Pat, saying the radio guys do a good job. He told them they were awesome, and did a great job, and chucking, said
