Friedman: Darryl Sutter move ‘considered’ previously

Many within the hockey world were caught a bit off-balance when the Calgary Flames announced the hiring of Darryl Sutter (again) as head coach. Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman had to re-record part of their 31 Thoughts podcast, which allowed Friedman to share some nuggets about Sutter’s return to the fold.

Incredible work by producer @amandelic. We had to re-record twice late last night, and Amil has the podcast posted by 10 am ET. News of the week, and thank you to special guest Jared Spurgeon. https://t.co/Jb0wzUC07t
