The Calgary Flames faced a remarkably challenging year this season. After advancing to the second round of the playoffs in the previous season, the Flames found themselves not making it to the playoffs at all this time around. This disappointing performance led the Flames' management to make a bold decision - they fired head coach Daryl Sutter at the end of the season. This move was met with approval by many, including a number of Flames players. Now, the question on everyone's lips is: who will the Flames hire as their new head coach? There are several strong candidates among current NHL coaches, but it appears that the Flames are considering a promotion from within. <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/266595.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> In particular, the Flames are reportedly interested in promoting Mitch Love, the head coach of their AHL affiliate, the Calgary Wranglers. At just 38 years old, Love, a former professional player known for his combative style, has successfully transitioned into coaching. Love's hardworking, blue-collar approach to coaching seems to be a quality that Flames' fans could appreciate. He could provide the Flames with the spark they need, offering a refreshing change from the perceived dull style of Daryl Sutter. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/wesgilbertson/status/1658593995663216640?s=46&t=7Rbdlg0P41LEObjRcGH_tA'> </a></blockquote></div> <div class='youtube_container'><iframe class='youtube_video' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/dq9G1R7i3Ko' width='100%' loading='lazy' frameborder='0' title='' allow='autoplay; fullscreen' allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
