    The last thing we need is another minor-leaguer on the team.

  2. I think there should be some pipeline, maybe not AHL head coach to NHL head coach, but why not assistant? I think we need a proven NHL coach to be honest. Not sure how many are out there right now other than Bruce.

    I’m aboard the Love Train. Hop on, it feels good!

    Playfair, Keenan, B Sutter, Hartley, Peters, D Sutter. This ownership group has been on the road to hiring Mike Babcock since 2006.

    Every Stanley Cup winning coach since Quenneville in 2015 has been X’s and O’s player’s coach with great healthy communication. Naturally the Flames will hire a coach who will knock over a garbage can, haze a rookie, and shit talk the media instead.

    I’ve been saying this for a few months, the fact is mitch love is a good coach.

    Ownership has always been cheap about paying coaches, a good coach with NHL experience costs money. He is the best possible option to get a fresh coach in who has the potential to succeed with this team that won’t cost more than Murray is willing to spend.

    FWIW if we somehow luck our way into getting Kyle Dubas as next GM I can see him promoting love like he did Sheldon Keefe

    I’m all for a change if they’re confident of a change. I’m not all for a change for the sake of making one, though.

    If love is your guy, then you go get your love.

    I think he has already been told he will be coach after this season, they just will wait since he has AHL playoffs

  8. matchan80

    He’s already a step ahead with the Lanny Stache

  9. I didn’t not know if he will be successful or not but I do know he has earned the chance to coach the flames

    Well Jordon Love is going to be the QB of my favourite football team, Mitch Love may as well be the coach of my favourite hockey team!

  11. MonkeySailor

    Yeah, he’s the obvious choice. Successful, promising, and cheap.

    Only question is if the organization will do the right thing and promote him.

    If they do fire Sutter. I think that it is either going to be Mitch love or they will make Ryan Huska the head coach and Mitch Love will be an assistant for the Flames .

    Huge grain of salt since I don’t follow the Wranglers incredibly closely but from what I have watched, the reason why the Wranglers are a good team is because Wolf bails them out constantly, they’re super disorganized defensively. It’s very easy to look like a good coach when you have the league MVP in net.

    That being said Love could still be great, idk. Coaching is just as voodoo as goalies are tbh.

  14. RangerGripp

    Love goes as far as Wolf goes.

    The kid would make Keenan look good.

  15. ChaosDwarfEnjoyer

    Huska has sort of been the forgotten man here. He was once as highly regarded as Love is now and was responsible for the development of several key players in Stockton like Rasmus, Mang and Kylington.

    Some sort of future Huska/Love bench sounds good to me either way but think he’s just been forgotten due to being an assistant behind the domineering personality of Sutter

  16. Odd_Consideration323

    Sutter isn’t the problem, idk when you pea brains will realize that

  17. PossibleOatmeal

    I. am. down.

    Pay hyim. Pay thyat myan hyis myoney.

  18. Anyone willing to look past Coach Q’s blind eyes and bring him in next year?

  19. That’s a ‘stache we can trust to steer this team straight!
