Former Calgary Flame Tells Shocking Story About Darryl Sutter

We were waiting for that moment to happen. A few weeks after Darryl Sutter was fired from the Calgary Flames, a former player spoke out.

He made an appearance on the Spittin' Chicklets podcast earlier this week and shared a few stories about Sutter.

To understand the first one, you must know that the Flames don't really have a practice rink besides the Saddledome. However, it's not always available. Sometimes, players are forced to travel outside the city to Winsport for training.

«When we'd have a bad game or a bad first period, he'd walk back and forth mumbling, �I guess we have to go to Winsport tomorrow. You guys want to go practice at Winsport?' It's only the first period. It's 0-0. We have like 15 shots, and they have 3. He's chirping guys on the bench, �I guess we have to go to Winsport tomorrow'"

«It'd be 0-0, and he'd come in and tell Vladdy, [Dan] Vladar, to get ready to go in,» said Toffoli. «We're looking, thinking, �It's 0-0. Oh, Marky's not ready to play tonight.' We realize there's a reason it's 0-0; he has 10 saves. We haven't touched the puck this whole period. Little things like that. As you said, it's all mind games. He's just trying to get guys going. I guess it happened in LA too. It just started to wear on guys, and the change happened.»
