Thursday night will feature Darryl Sutter behind the bench of the Calgary Flames for the first time since May 3, 2006. Now, nearly 15 years later, Sutter’s back and trying to turn the Flames around.
To commemorate Sutter’s return to the Flames, we’ve convened our staff for a roundtable chat.
What’s your reaction to the Flames hiring Darryl Sutter? (Good move? Bad move?)
Craig: A little hesitant. It’s clear the Flames needed to make one (hopefully final) substantial stir to inject some stability in this group and how they play, and Sutter is certainly a man proven capable for that job, but it’s impossible to completely ignore the abuse allegations against him, too.
