Flames' Nazem Kadri Frustrated With Coach Sutter

The Calgary Flames are fighting to stay relevant in the Western Conference Stanley Cup Playoff race as they sit four points back of the Winnipeg Jets. Turns out the team is not only fighting off opponents, they are fighting their own demons as word Flames forward Nazem Kadri is not happy with head coach Darryl Sutter.

Kadri believes there is a giant disconnect between the players and the coaching staff and he's seen his role diminish these past few weeks, starting on the third line on Monday night in Los Angeles. Recently, Kadri let his emotions get the best of him:

Believe that makes it one former Flame and three to four current Flames that have called out Sutter this season

What in the heck has happened to Nazem Kadri. Played only 13 minutes, was -2 and didn’t see the ice in overtime. The Flames got him to be a big time player but his game has really fallen off.

Kadri was a massive signing for the Flames and unfortunately him and Jonathan Huberdeau have struggled at parts of this season. Yes, it appears to be a chemistry issue with the head coach and you can bet if the Flames miss out on the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season, expect to see Sutter shown the door.
