Hey folks! Wow what a night. Darryl Sutter is now the Calgary Flames head coach (again). We had joked about this a bit on social media and on our podcast, but to see the Flames push their chips all-in on a decision like this, is nothing if not reassuring that they’re finally getting off the fence. This is it, if it doesn’t work out, it’s a rebuild with house cleaning, if it works out, this team could do it.
With that in mind, I wanted to ask Flames fans some questions about how they’re feeling immediately after this news broke. Below are six polls, if you can’t see them click here, please answer and I’ll share the results in a few days.
