Yes you're fired... did I Sutter?

In what had to be the strangest firing in the history of pro sports the Calgary Flames relieved GM Daryl Sutter and replaced him with AGM Jay Feaster. Feaster was the GM of the Tampa Bay Lightening when they beat Sutters Flames in a highly disputed Stanley Cup Final. Brother Brent Sutter is the coach and was asked to report on rumours started 2 minutes after Daryl was let go, of a rift between the 2 brothers. Player development head Rich Sutter denied the allegations, special advisor Ron Sutter was unavailable for comment and scout Duane Sutter felt unprepared to discuss the move. It was up to President of the Flames Ken King, Daryl’s long-time friend and consigliore, to ask him to step down. If this was soccer it would be the most popular show in Brazil

King was obviously shaken up during the announcement and denied speculation there were harsh words spoken saying he talked with Daryl’s mom Grace Sutter before and she promised he had been told to play nice and put all his toys back in the box.

A spokesman for the Toronto Maple Leafs was not quoted saying they are reportedly interested in talking with Daryl’s mom to see if she can get Ron Wilson to quit.

If the Leafs could get Daryl to agree to a 3 year contract to coach the team, combined with current GM Brian Burke it could be the 1st time that management would be fined more for infractions than the players

Could you imagine Daryl, Brian and Don Cherry in the same city? A spokesperson for CBC sports went quiet, smiled brightly then wet his pants.
