The Calgary Flames' season last year was disastrous. Despite being well over .500, they missed the playoffs. This was due in large part to head coach Darryl Sutter.
Sutter instilled toxicity in the Flames' locker room that surely cannot go unnoticed. In a recent report from The Athletic, some of Sutter's actions have been revealed.
While the player said it was nothing much and wanted to remain anonymous, this is certainly alarming. It is not okay for a coach to touch any player unless in a safe workplace manner and if the Flames had to launch an investigation, then it clearly was not workplace safe.
The Flames bought out Sutter's contract when cleaning house and it makes sense why they would with more and more stories coming up regarding Sutter and the toxic environment he instilled in the Flames' locker room.
As seen on Blade of Steel - Darryl Sutter was reportedly fired after erratic behavior and after being investigated for 'making physical contact' with a player
