I dunno whats going on, but it would have to be credible enough to be put on the score, but then again, it got taken down.

link1 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I don't know. I like Playfair, don't get me wrong, but I am kind of disappointed by this. I was hoping for one more year with Sutter behind the bench. I wonder if Playfair will tinker more with the system the Flames play to allow for more creativity offensively?

Bane Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 thefourthperiod is rarely first out of the starting gates with news, so there is still hope that its bogus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames-fan-911 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm going to miss Sutter. His antics and unfazed mood always reflected well on his team; he also had a knack for achieving a lot out of his players. However, this is the beginning of a new era in Flames hockey, so we must embrace the change instead of questioning it. As much as I would have loved to have seen Sutter behind the bench with the *seemingly complete team that has a good shot at the cup in 07*, his interests were evolving. We have to respect that. This could be an oppertunity to allow more offensive flare with the proper balance of good goaltending and responsible defense. I have faith in his decision.

CRed Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Well, I sure am gonna miss Darryl behind the bench. At times, his facial expressions and antics were more enjoyable than the game itself!! I'm sure Jim Playfair will do a great job. He's been with the club for awhile and deserves this chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlamesFanSince86 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I know some of you are a little worried about this. But have faith. Remember when Calgary released Badger Bob a year after we made it to the finals in 86? Then we hired Terry Crisp and he tooks us all the way. Maybe this is a good thing. Playfair even sounds like Sutter in his interviews, so I don't think any problems will come with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandwagon Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Well, if TSN has it, I'll take it as fact. That's huge news then. It's good to see Wayne Fleming on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 doesn't this mean that we have to get rid of Friesen now??? Because after all, people have been saying that his best hockey was played under Sutter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sKriSh Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I was waiting for a legit source before I believed it. I'm really excited to see what Playfair can do. Anyone know the time of the press conference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakeyras Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Well, it wasn't unexpected. Even Playfair was the one most people assumed would take over for Darryl. I would've liked to see Brent Sutter come to town, but I'm sure Playfair will do a fine job. He's been around for awhile now, I'm guessing he has the respect of the players and will be able to get them to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
