Well, you know how the story goes. Sir Treliving does it again... To me this smells like the owner's call, kind of like Gillis & Torts. I don't know how much time Treliving has left, a GM only gets so many coaching hires and time overall (which should hit home here). Well unless of course the trend continues and Sutter pulls off some playoff magic. Edited March 5, 2021 by kanucks25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convincing John Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The guy who runs the consulting firm I work for is an ex NHLer in Downtown Calgary. He is still pretty connected in the hockey world and totally called this a few years ago. These kids got mixed up in some bad stuff. Johnny fell in so deep that they actually flew his mother in to stay with him and clean him up. These kids have been partying hard for a few years now and my boss said a long time ago. “if these guys keep F’ing around they’re going to get one of the Sutter boys in to straighten this out”. So I almost died when I saw this headline. To be honest, this isn’t as uncommon as you think. ALL teams party, especially on road trips but a few come right off the “rails of the crazy train” this is seriously the legit unspoken job of the team captain. Keeping his teammates from blacking out on a nightly basis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Reading the Calgary boards, seems like it was the owners decision. I dunno. That Calgary core is kinda gutless, been through 3 coaches. Bringing an old guy back with turn of the century ideas might back fire on them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trelivings's on his last life for sure (and rightfully so) Had he not made the playoffs a few times, as well as one of those times being 1st in the West, he would have been gone some time ago.

Kenny Blankenship Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 10 hours ago, linden17 said: This actually makes a lot of sense. Calgary was supposed to be a top team with their signings. I was legit saying to my friend tonight that Calgary just needs a coaching change. Too much talent for them to be doing as they have been. We on the other hand are in more of a less panic mode where our decisions can be made in the off season. Honestly I don’t think Calgary is that great, even on paper. Gaudreau and Monahan can’t be the guys to lead a good team offensively, and without a couple lights out games from marky against us, we would probably be ahead of them in the standings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Long ways to go to get to the type of teams Sutter likes. At least they’ve got their Kipper in Markstrom. Gonna need a major overhaul though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if boring Sean and Little Johnny are going to be happy blocking shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I hope he benches little johnny and boring monahan and destroy that locker room. Mcdavid was shutout in the 3 game series vs Toronto, he's going to light up the Lames in Sutter's debut lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
