Me too Zuuuc!!!  I wanna see him win it, but Sutter had a superb year!

[Phil]

I'd love for Gallant to win it, but I think Sutter will take it. The Flames were a machine this year.

[siddious]

Def not gallant he didn’t take enough time outs this year 

[Blue Heaven]

Brunette, to continue the success after the Quenneville resigned and not miss a beat.  Presidents Trophy winner.

Same sentiment here. CGY had an even bigger points gained differential from 2020/21 to 2021/22 than the Rangers and that team was just a juggernaut for large stretches of the season. I don't see how Sutter doesn't win this, he completely transformed the mentality of that squad.

Show me a good goalie and I'll show you a good coach.

I think you mean that the other way around. Or are you saying David Quinn was great?

Shesterkin actually played his worst hockey ever under David Quinn.

Time to give him more props?  He had me concerned in the Pittsburgh series but he’s shown that he’s about adjustments too, especially shutting Carolina down in the 2nd and 3rd periods last night

[Dunny]

I'd say. One moment stuck out to me, I forget what goal it was in Pitssburgh series, but I think it was the go ahead in Gm6. They showed the bench, and he didn't even flinch. Just put his head down and looked at his lineup card.

 

I like that very steady hand. There's zero panic in this guy. Each type of coach has a place, and after a heavy handed Quinn, it must be refreshing to have a guy that simply backs you to the hilt, and who you know will never throw you under the bus.

 

Xs and Os are important, but it's hockey, it's not football, it's not baseball. Their value has a limit. Equally important in this game is an absolute esprit de corps. An unshakable bond between men that can sustain you through the darkest hours, and is present when your best land plans blow up in your face.

 

No coach lasts forever, but this is the right guy for the job, right now, and he's proved it.

They can announce the messier and the rehab award this way, but I still wish real awards had some type of ceremony/recognition. This is the equivalent of a commercial during intermission. 

[Ozzy]

I'm fine with Sutter winning.  I wanted to see the Turk win, but I can't argue much with Sutter as the choice.

[Sharpshooter]

Just as I expected. I wasn't even surprised that Gallant finished third in voting? Brunette took over a team after that Quenneville disaster and led them to a great season. Gallant has gotten plenty of love around the league for what he's done with the Rangers. No Rangers coach has ever won that award before, so it would have been cool to see him get it in his first year. The future here is very bright, and I don't think this will be his last nomination.

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Crazy odds on Sutter winning before the season.

[Albatrosss]

Shesterkin should've won
