I disagree with you. Sutter survived 2 years longer than I expected. He made the Flames over-achieve when he coached there, but burned out the players doing it. He did the same with the Kings too, but managed to keep the team buying in to the system for 3, almost 4 years before burning them out. He's a great short term coach, but he coaches an unsustainable style. He is everything Torts tried to be.Mëds wrote:If ownership/management in LA makes a change behind the bench, they are retarded.
If the story is true and the players, who were totally unable to get it done before Sutter showed up, have tuned out the coach that brought them together and guided them to a pair of Stanley Cups in 3 seasons, I think there needs to be a change made on the roster.
Heck, if LA lets him go, Tarana would be retarded not to pick him up, as I think he could even get their group of mongoloids into the playoffs 2 years in a row before losing the locker room there. But, I don't think he can get the current team in LA to buy back in to playing as hard and tough as they did over the last 4 years again. Those boys are feeling drained.
