This decision has stripped clubs of a powerful community outreach tool and removed meaningful support for Special Initiatives, all to protect a select few who do not want to answer any questions about their choices. I hope the NHL reconsiders in order to remain a leader in DEI.
@mikeFAIL@akaRCN It doesn't do you any good to look at players that were once Flames' property and wonder what could have been. There are dozens of players who have thrived under different circumstances on other teams. There's no guarantee Bennett would have turned things around here.
@mikeFAIL@akaRCN Rick Bell has a screed this morning about snowflakes pushing out the legendary bench boss. I'm not convinced that being a demanding coach means you have to be a dick. Stories about Sutter alienating players (both current and possibly past), staff, and GMBT should be concerning.
@akaRCN@mikeFAIL Peters was .500 when he left the team, wasn't he? Not exactly continuing the torrid 107 point pace from the previous year. And how did Sutter follow up last year's campaign? There's more to it than just coach type. Could also be that the hard ass has a definite shelf life.
