The problem is you see us as Latendresse lovers only. And you could be right. It's funny, though, that the subject has become the hottest topic of this board. Could it just be that the majority of the posters here think he's being treated like dirt?

Fair enough, but maybe Latendresse should play better instead of blaming Sutter.

Come on. I am not even a fan of latendresse. I see our horse **** PP and a player that can help it. I am not cheering against Canada and it is ridiculous to assume otherwise.

How do you know he can help it. Cause he scores in the Q. Woop dee doo.
Thats like me saying they its idiotic that they dont have Jonathen Toews out there for every pp, because after all, hes not getting a ton of pp time & there pp is not that good.
Why dont I ever here near the complaining from fans of the Dub or Ohl as I do from fans of the Q (not speaking specifically of you) about their favorite players not playing, not playing very much or not getting picked.
This same crap goes on every year like clockwork from Q fans.

They won what? One Mem Cup? That's it?

2 Stanley Cups, 1 memorial cup and 1 WJC gold medal. (That's just Brent Sutter)

What a loser

If.

No, actually I think that fans of the Q just whine way more than all the other fans put together.

In fact, he's not. At least, not publicly. On RDS' web site, he writes that Brent Sutter is very likeable. Honest to God. And he maybe, for all we know. I believe Guillaume, he's pretty down to earth.

Listen, Guillaume has been known in the past to go to sleep. He's a gentle giant. One of his closest observers (those who've followed his career) told me he was lackadaisical (sorry for the spelling) sometimes. This guy had it pretty easy till the midget level. He skipped bantam! He went from pee-wee to midget AAA... But when he puts on the burners, he's unstoppable physically. And he's got these wonderful hands...

If Sutter feels Guillaume is sleeping, fine. But at least give him one freaking shift...

Because of Mike Bossy, Wayne Gretzky and MArio Lemieux. Not pluckers.

Of course because those three played all 60 minutes of the games. Moreover, Brent Sutter scored the 5th goal in the last game of the 87 Canada Cup. Without that goal Canada might not win. You need grinders on teams. You don't build teams by having the best players. You take players to fill certain roles.

Lafleur got benched by Lemaire, buddy. Not by Bowman. When he needed a goal, he sent Lafleur. Go ask Cherry.

As for Lecavalier, you know nothing. You know what the media tells you. Go ask Vinny yourself. Lecavalier is playing for his teammates, for himself. Not for his coach. In fact, Tortorella is in the doghouse with the majority of his stars.

You have no idea Bud. Like, I guess Vinny hates Tortella so much he signed a lonng term contract with the Bolts.
He actually likes Tortella & credits him with his success. That much I know.

Well how do you know he cannot? He has the tools, he is a high draft pick and damn near made the Canadians. . Toews does not shoot the puck and get around the net like Latte. I am not happy with the treatment, just like I would be if his name was Joey Yellowstick from Nunavut or Allan slipnfallchuk from saskatoon.I'm beginning to tire out here on the east coast, Trying to hang in for the Swiss/Finn score.

That's what I said. You know nothing.

Go play a round of golf with him and tell me if you keep up the same tune. Read my lips: he hates the guy. He loves Tampa, and his teammates, but he can't stand him with a 10 foot poll. Not even funny. Go ask St-Louis and Richards.

He also won I believe 3 Canada Cups as a player.

You don't say?

What a loser

Here's a writeup:

Sutter has been a part of the WHL’s Red Deer Rebels for the past six seasons. The native of Viking, AB played 18 NHL seasons with the New York Islanders and the Chicago Blackhawks, and is a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the New York Islanders (1982 and 1983). Brent led the Red Deer Rebels to the WHL championship and won the 2001 Memorial Cup. He was named coach of the 2001 and 2002 WHL Eastern All-Star Team, 2001 CHL Prospects game Assistant Coach, and the 2001 CHL and WHL Coach of the Year and 2001 Executive of the Year. He holds a 253-126-38-15 career coaching record with the Rebels.

As a player, Sutter represented Canada on four occasions: 1991 Canada Cup (1st place), 1987 Canada Cup (1st place), 1984 Canada Cup (1st place) and the 1986 World Hockey Championship (bronze medal).

Yeah, what does Sutter know about coaching and winning?

Oh... and he's still undefeated in the WJC, and has tied a record for the longest winning streak in Team Canada WJC history, looking to break it.

Doug Jarvis won 4 Stanley Cups in a row. That doesn't make him HOF material.

Who said anything about HOF?

We're talking about winning. And Brent Sutter knows how to win.

When Darryl Sutter decides to vacate his coaching position, I really hope Brent is takes that spot.

Like I said, he's a solid coach. I don't like his approach. I've seen other types of coaches winning too. Scotty Bowman was an *** in Montreal, but was very likeable in Pittsburgh and in Detroit. He changed, because times have changed.

Herb Brooks coached with the Sutter philosophy also and he was a bust in the NHL. Burns could coach 3 seasons before players got tired of his antics. The same is going to happen in Tampa.

Not true. I heard he lost a game of cards against Persson in the plane. :D Maybe that's why Persson had 3 teeth missing the next morning. :D

Pouliot doesn't speak a word of french and he also needs more ice time. Stop the racist paranoia.

Excuse me? Benoit Pouliot is bilingual.

So what if you don't like his approach. His job as a coach is to win and he does it all the time. Look at his brother in Calgary, they love Darryl and he is doing a fantastic job as well.

And accurate.

:D

Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

You've got to know that this dates back to the Mario Lemieux years, when the great Dave King refused to take him on the canadian team because he wasn't very defensively conscious (euphemism). Since then, the Q fans have been a bit fickle.

That's why there are boards like this one. Imagine if we couldn't comment on some decisions. We'd be drinking Kool-Aid all the time. Wouldn't it be boring?

By the way, Happy New Year, guys.
