General Manager Darryl Sutter announced today Brent Sutter has been named as the head coach of the Calgary Flames.
Additionally, Ryan McGill, Dave Lowry and Jamie McLennan have been named as assistant coaches.

As much respect as Marcoux has, there is no doubt that he hasn’t gotten much at all out of our goaltending the last couple years. A new perspective would help.
Anyway, I welcome our new Sutter overlord. One thing there most definitely will be is accountability. This is one mean coaching staff.
like i said over at hitthepost, i can honestly attest to how much harder i work when i’m surrounded by people i like. when my boss is a good laugh, as well as competant, i want to do so much more…. i could see kipper going back to having some fun this year, which could really result in better results (when you’re scared to eff up, you eff up more).
i guess we’ll see.
i’m not talking effort, exactly. i’m talking fun, interest, and passion, as opposed to disgruntled, exhausted, “over it….” makes some sense to me anyways.

Compensation
I doubt we’ll ever know, but I’m curious what sort of disgusting sexual favours Darryl has to perform on Lou the next time they’re in the same city. Compensation’s a bitch, yo.
Be hard to be worse
but was listening to one with Brett yesterday, and it sounded much like his brother.
I wonder if we can hire an assistant coach just to do interviews. Sort of like a colour man. Organizationally useless, but entertaining for the audience. What’s MacTavish doing these days?

we seem to have all forgotten that noodles is now on the coaching staff, ie: funny/interesting interviews should be forthcoming. :)

So begins the journey of the Calgary Sutters
Any more Sutters they could get involved with the team in some way?
Seriously though, this should be the make or break I am hoping for… that is, the Flames do well or a change occurs in the front office. Sounds like a win-win to me (since I am tired of the losing in the first round, and either one should be stepping forward to that goal).
Second Round???
Really Brent’s going to do that….. He couldn’t get in the second round of the playoffs two seasons straight. Even with a healthy rested Brodeur. He almost did but he put Colin White out and well I don’t want to talk about the ending…………

As I said LGD
They either advance past round one or they flame out… either way, I get something I want (Flames advance or Daryl might finally get the boot).
