my quick, less than elegant take on new/old coach Sutter

Like Jake, I actually like Treliving's body of work on the whole, as much as I've been frustrated by NHL Flames of late.
Smart, super hard-working, good, honest stand up guy.Drafting has greatly improved. Made some decent trades overall (compared to previous GMs). Free agents, other than Markstrom and Tanev underwhelming to say the least. As much as I love Conroy, wonder if they need one more true hockey mind as an assistant GM...
This is definitely Treliving's wildcard move in hiring Sutter - after initial shock (and that's even with hearing rumblings...), I don't mind this move. Geoff Ward nice guy, but not a NHL level head coach. 3 yr contract seems long, but not my money...
Press conferences got a lot more interesting...

I stopped watching after the 4-0 goal. To be honest, this team as sucked since the 3rd game of the season, which in itself was another blowout of 6-1 to the Buffalo Sabres. They say the lost of Niskanen has hurt them, but I think that they could have still managed and done better without him. They had the potential of going out and getting good replacement for him, but they decided to resign Braun instead, and we all know that he hasn't worked out in Philly. Also, the forwards don't know how to make concrete passes to each other, but they excel at turning the puck over every chance they get, no wonder the goalies are shitting the bed. In my opinion, the biggest mistake that the Flyers management did was firing Hextall and Prior. Fletcher and his group is pure crap, we all saw what he did in Minnesota. And look at the team now, since they left... At this rate, when they play Buffalo next, they will help them end their loosing streak. One is for sure, I am curious to how they will respond the next game vs the Islanders, and I also hope that all of this crap has not burned Hart already.

I hear, Al.
I turned off Flames game at 2-nil tonight - saw what was coming. After initial jolt of belief in Sutter, Flames are back to what they are - a mediocre, uninspired hockey club, who cannot up keep up with a team that got rewarded for futility and tanking, winning 4 1st overall picks in a 6 yr span with 3rd, 4th, 7th overall picks in 3 other yrs in that 8 yr span. Not a fan of the NHL draft system...
Hope Flames management realizes this team headed nowhere and goes for a true revamping. I doubt it though. They seem fine with striving for mediocrity, in the middle of the back - either barely missing or barely getting into the playoffs and then doing nothing.
F*ck.

And hard not to enjoy the success of the Bunch of Jerks! (Through the Hartford Whalers jerseys on them and extra good!)

Alrighty then!!!!!
The Flyers bounce back with a 4-3 win over the Islanders.
To be honest, nothing to really be cheerful about. Yes, they plaid better, but it was not 60 minutes of better play, it was more like 50 minutes
And they got lucky, they almost lost the game in the 10 minutes they took that nap.
The only good thing about tonight's game was the play of Lindblom, and he is the reason they won the game.
Fletcher better working the phones like a mad man, to try and find some veteran blueline guys that can play better defensively. 1 or 2 should do the trick. 1 to play with Ghost and one to play with either Sanheim or Myers.
And for god sakes AV!!! After those trades put Ghost back in the lineup and for once in the past 2 seasons, play him with the same partner for the entire game and for the rest of the season...
A better defensive Dman with Ghost will allow him to do what he does best and help the team offensively, while not be a detriment defensively.
And all of that will help Provorov and take some of the pressure off of him.
If not, and if this continues, well the FLyers will ruin not one but 2 good players they are counting on: Hart and Provorov.

Its why I loved and hated Sutter coming back. I love it because I love Sutter and have wanted to see him behind the bench since the day he stopped being our coach. But I hated it because to me it signaled that we are going all in with this group and that with Sutter there is no chance we are turning over the team like is needed.

If at any point Treliving traded Gaudreau I would not blame him or be mad. Likely wouldn't even care about the return either anymore. I am just so tired of watching him do nothing and having Flames fans blame everyone else, Monahan especially who at least puts in some effort unlike someone who seems to be good to try anymore.

Zibanejad - 12 of his 26 points have come in two games against the Rangers.
