Some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And after 15 years, Calgary Flames hockey under Darryl Sutter passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared another group of fans. It came to the 2021 group. And there it consumed us.
That was a Sutter game I’ve watched many a time, years ago: tight-checking and smothering. The word ‘boring’ is going around as a descriptor of the Darryl Sutter Flames but let me tell you, there is certainly nothing boring for those of us cheering for the good guys in red.
