Tyler Toffoli Shares More Disturbing Details About Darryl Sutter
The Calgary Flames fired Darryl Sutter a few months ago following multiple reports of friction between him and the players.
A former fan-favorite in Calgary spoke out about the coach.
Toffoli Reveals Disturbing Details
Tyler Toffoli joined the Flames in 2022 and has participated in 119 games since then. He has also scored 96 points during that time. Now that Sutter is gone and Toffoli has moved to New Jersey, he didn't hesitate to share some anecdotes involving him.
In case you weren't aware, the Flames don't have a practice rink apart from the Saddledome. However, sometimes, it isn't available, and the Flames have to travel to Winsport to train.
«If we had a bad game or a bad first period,» recalled Toffoli, «During the game, he'd be walking back and forth mumbling, �I guess we have to go to Winsport tomorrow. Do you guys want to practice at Winsport?' It's only the first period. It's 0-0. We have like 15 shots, and they have 3, and he's chirping guys on the bench, �I guess we have to go to Winsport tomorrow'"
Sutter's Mind Games
Sutter also played some strange mind games with his goaltenders:
«It would be 0-0, and he'd come in and tell Vladdy, [Dan] Vladar, to get ready to go in,» said Toffoli. «We'd be looking. It's 0-0. �Oh, Marky's not ready to play tonight.' We'd be looking, and we'd be like, 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.»
Sutter's career is likely over after all this backlash from his tenure in Calgary.
