Darryl Sutter, who led the Calgary Flames to within a whisker â or perhaps a pixel â of a Stanley Cup parade in 2004, is now back behind the bench at the Saddledome, tasked with squeezing more out of a talented core that has already churned through several coaches.
Under their new boss, there will be no excuse for falling short of expectations.
The Flames made this surprise move late Thursday, announcing about 75 minutes after a 7-3 rout of the Ottawa Senators that Geoff Ward had been fired and that Sutter is returning to his old stomping grounds.
