You know he couldn’t WAIT for this moment especially after his agent went nuts, Only guy who hasn’t publicly shit on Sutter outright or through veiled criticism is Kadri at this point .

He won’t have Sutter for an excuse now…wonder what a fly on the wall would say about his leadership in the room? Sure wasn’t evident on the ice. Oh, that’s Sutter’s fault. Many times when Sutter played him, he should have been benched, imo.
Not a good look from our superstar signed for the next 8 years!
I am not surprised Huberdeau would say this, but that doesn’t mean it is true. A year ago Gaudreau and Tkachuk had career seasons under Sutter, in a large part because they bought into his system.
Sutter’s style is far different from how Huberdeau would want to play but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t put him in a position to succeed.
So, in case anyone is new to the world of hockey. Sutter *has always* been a hard nosed – team first – suck it up – earn your spot type of coach. No matter who the player was.
I’m not saying thats right for this current set of NHL players, but I think it’s fucking ridiculous that everyone’s shock grabbing their pearls over it.
Go off King.
Why was he playing RW for half the year with Milan Lucic?
What was he averaging 3 minutes less than last year?
There was a reason why the Flames haven’t had a player Captain since Gio left. Sutter wanted all the authority
I’m so glad this old prick is out of this organization. Maloney really cares about the success of this team moving forward or else he wouldn’t have fired him. I’m optimistic
Maybe someone should tell Huberdeau that it’s best practice to keep quite. Unless he puts up 100 points next year when he’s making 10 mil. He had the red carpet laid out for him when he first got to Calgary. We even let his sister sing the first anthem. Or is it possible that Florida made the trade of the century recognizing that huby was a one and done season guy. And traded him perfected at his peak value ? anyways if he waiting until I actually produced results for before saying anything
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Anywhere Kadri goes the locker room is lost within a few years. Guy is an absolute cancer everywhere he goes.
Hopefully it is time to see Huby and Lindy light it up next year.
So he gets about 8 mil to sit in his tractor for the next few years lol
It’ll be interesting to see what the Narrative is when the new coach doesn’t magically make this team a contender
Not impressed with this knocking on the pipes after the coach is let go. Huberdeau is blaming his coach for his own ineptitude in Calgary. Didn’t even attempt to examine what he himself could do differently. So, no – a new coach will not likely change this until any criticism starts and ends with himself.
And unlike Huberdeau, Sutter is proven and a champ, so while Huberdeau may not like Sutter’s style, he himself is not proven at all. Just overpaid thanks to two great seasons and a bunch of average seasons in Florida.
Thank god Sutter is done. What a Debbie Downer. Just so negative. I’m so glad I won’t hear his droning miserable face and voice.
WHY DIDNT THEY WORK ON THE FUCKING POWERPLAY AT ALL THIS SEASON? God dammit that’s the most infuriating piece of news that’s come out of all of this
