Taco Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'm of the firm opinion that it's a tad early for them to start chokin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 This year if they do not perform in the post-season I wonder if Sutter will still be Calgary's golden boy??? So far he is an almost one hit wonder with the Flames... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDevonshire Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Sutter's the man in Calgary, anyone that shoots him down, doesnt know hockey. The man is a great contributing factor to turning this team around, he practicaly took over in every situation like he has done for many teams, and make them a cup contender. l read his bio and l really think he deserves a cup, and so does the team and the fans. Hard pressed to find any better fans then what we have in calgary. GO FLAMES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has made some good moves, and some real stinkers - particularly with bringing in some dinosaurs on defense. He let Giordano go to Russia and then signed Hale and Erickson in the same year. And don't get me started on Bert. Its fair for somone to question him. As a scout he has done pretty well. The Flames run in '04 was fantastic. Best time I've had in this city since i got here in '95 ('88 and '89 were probably even more fun). But lets face it - they were an overtime away from being bounced in the first round. Since then, they have underperformed.

Example Chicago,San jose,and Calgary. Still a great coach and manager, maybe doesnt have all the fame and rings like Bowman but deserving of one thats forsure.
