    Wishful thinking perhaps??


    All of the players, Playfair himself and Sutter have all acted consitently with Playfair coming back next year. They could still fire him ( since Sutter has never said Playfair is staying) but Sutter has talked as if he was reasonably OK with the season

      He said two things:

      "This season was okay"
      and
      "Okay is not okay"

        I heard those quotes but I also herd him say repeatedly that he thought the coaching staff had the team well prepared and after the season he talked about the fcat that a rookie coach would have some growing pains and would have a learning process.

          They can't fire a coach after a single season because he got eliminated in the first round.

            Normally, no. But there were rumblings about firing him before the playoffs even started for a reason.

            He was basically given a stacked deck as far as players go, and he drove the team into the ground. The team needs a huge shakeup, and I'd rather lose Playfair than Iginla, Phaneuf, Regehr, etc...

            The team has had massive problems all year round. They barely made the playoffs...

              If he were fired, it would NOT simply be because they got eliminated . .. It would be because the regular season results were somewhat disappointing including a very very low standard of play at many occasions. In the playoffs it wouldn't be because they lost but because of how extremely outplayed they were in 4 of the 6 games in the series.

              If the Flames had lost in 6 to Detroit but been very very competitive, I don't think PLayfair's fate would even be a question. BUt when you are clearly outclassed people start to assign blame

                Not to mention:
                MLB.com has been providing streaming video since the 2002 season[1], with only audio available before that. However, in the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Guam and the US Virgin Islands, blackout restrictions apply.

                  I get that both MLB and NHL provide games available for online broadcasting.

                  I also get that the terms of these broadcasts restrict broadcast OUTSIDE of specified regions, rather than INSIDE a la MLB.

                  For instance, I appreciate that I can use NHL CI to stream hockey games in North America next season (handy for business). I would not appreciate the MLB blacking out games from online streaming when I'm in NA.

                  I get it, Tingkai. You're really upset because the NHL hasn't stepped into the cultural backwaters of China to provide streaming there. I'm not so sure this is a problem we can blame Bettman on. I'm sure airing hockey in a region of poverty with a corrupt government is a top priority of anyone in the top chair of the NHL, right?

                  Yeah, I'm the one that doesn't "get it".

                          I think the point is, why doesn't the NHL attempt to make money from those viewers outside of NA (say, in sweden, norway, russia, etc.)? The fact that they don't is silly, particularly as it would cost them nothing (unless there's already a broadcast agreement in that region, but clearly in this case there isn't, otherwise they'd be ... well, broadcasting, and this wouldn't be an issue).

                                In case you missed it, go to www.sopcast.com. Download the program. There is an NHL game feed from Canada (today it was HNIC doing the Canucks game, pother night it was TSN). The quality isn't high def, but it's good enough for my flat screen TV and its free.

                                Other alternative is to get someone in North America to set up a slingbox for ya.
