Darryl Sutter Explains the Difference Between This Year & Last Year's Playoffs

As far as head coaches go in the NHL, perhaps none provide more valuable sound bites than Calgary Flames' Head Coach Darryl Sutter. Whether it's verbal language or body language, he always commands the room & offers great wisdom. The Flames have a completely different vibe under Sutter; his calm but intense approach appears to be a perfect fit in Calgary. When asked about the difference between last year & this year, Sutter humbly offered an answer greater than himself & he's got a point.

The playoff atmosphere is completely different in an empty arena, and the effect it had on teams without them is undeniable. And the passionate fans in Calgary need to be all-in on this season. The Flames have a complete team, very deep, built for playoff hockey. Then factor in a multiple Stanley Cup winning coach. Smells like a recipe for a championship. Sutter's full comments from this afternoon are worth listening to, watch below:
