HockeyBuzz Wire: Flames fire Geoff Ward, bring back Darryl Sutter

Yikes. Ward wasn't working, but this might be a disaster. The Flames might have the least Sutter style roster in the league.

Can't really make any major style changes at this point, so I guess he's there to yell at them.

Its a three year deal...he will get the roster he wants but he has done well with smaller players before he only demands work.

Guy is a winnner and will demand work ethic

That’s a good shelf life for him too : 2 1/2 seasons or so because he’ll get a lot out of them but they’ll end up resenting him eventually like in LA. Wonder what kind of intel Sutter will tell Thachuk to get into Doughtys head when the division’s return to normal next season I would think 🤔

Darryl is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what to feel... but one thing is for sure, Darryl demands work ethic and our team has been lacking that for sure. Let's see if he can right the ship.

He will bring team structure and team play to the Flames, which we desperately need

Not necessarily Hunk, he might surprise us in a good way

Why is an ad blocking half the comments?

Also, why is this an EK story now instead of a Todd story? Is EK stealing from his staff now?

It was first dropped on HB by Todd, not EK. Then a couple hours later moved from the Buzz to EK's feed.

Because half your comments are delusional like this.

Because Todd don't surf.

As long as he stays as coach.... Look for a few players to get moved. Darryl needs a few more north south types.

Because Todd has other things to do. We are lucky if we get a game day blog now.


Kind of suits for the tire fire the Flames have become.

There is a good chemistry between those 2.

Get ready for some bag skates boys!

Sarcasm aside, I can't believe this is your top story. Zero mention of Walter Gretzky?? You Americans may be puzzled why someone's father is big news, but every Canadian knows exactly what Walter meant to the sport. I figured Ek's vast network of sources would explain his impact. But I guess not. Not coming back today out of respect.

They win and fire there coach, and the Sabres can't win, don't score, don't play defense and have no Heart but we keep dead man walking Ralph.

Walter was a great guy and very proud Father. I got to meet him and do the basement tour at his home. It was like a Great One Museum at his home. Great Ambassador of Hockey. God Bless Walter.

We rarely get game day blogs... Meh...
You guys never visit anymore, otherwise you'd know.

I'm wondering if the HockeyBuzz HQ actually has a wire(s)?

Brent Seabrook retires.
