Sutter led Calgary to a 50-21-11 record for 111 points last season, finishing first in the Pacific Division. He has a 65-36-11 record since signing with the Flames during the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think first off, Brad [Treliving] and I talked about it all summer,&#8221; Sutter said. &#8220;The plan was to get our players taken care of. Talk to him and (owner) Murray (Edwards), and it&#8217;s not that hard to figure out. It&#8217;s still the basis of what I said when I came here. Good team. Good city. Good owners. It wasn&#8217;t that hard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is Sutter&#8217;s second reign as Flames head coach. He was first hired by Calgary midway through the 2002-03 season after being fired by the San Jose Sharks. Sutter took the 2003-04 Flames to the Stanley Cup Final but lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning. He was fired following the 2005-06 season after the team lost in the first round of the playoffs to an underdog Anaheim Ducks team.<\/p>\n<p>Sutter is entering his 21st year of head coaching in the NHL. His overall coaching record is 699-503-94 with 101 ties. He has coached the Chicago Blackhawks, San Jose Sharks, Los Angelos Kings, and Calgary Flames. Sutter won two Stanley Cups as coach of the Kings.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">&#8220;That&#8217;s our coach!

The team&#8217;s management fully trusts Sutter, and he has, without question, turned the franchise into a legit Cup contender. Treliving called the Sutter signing a &#8220;no-brainer.&#8221; With the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2022\/07\/23\/matthew-tkachuk-traded\/\" target=\"_self\">acquisition<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/huberjo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jonathan Huberdeau<\/a>, among others, this offseason Treliving and the Flames are doubling down on their playoff window.<\/p>\n<p>Sutter ranks 11th in all-time wins as a head coach. He will likely pass Mike Babcock and Alain Vigneault this season and firmly entrench himself inside the top ten.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Darryl Sutter is looking for his group to execute more on the power play tonight in Raleigh: the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Flames?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Flames<\/a> currently hold the 8th best road PP in the league, running at 25.5%. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/512nyI7vT4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/512nyI7vT4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHLFlames\/status\/1479494973145952259?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 7, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Calgary Flames signed head coach Darryl Sutter to a multi-year deal on Saturday.
