You look at that list, and not one of the established goalies played better with Sigalet as their coach. Maybe Ramo.. but no one else on that list is even close.

But do you know the reasons for this? I suspect that Sigalet's job performance is not strictly tied to the numbers each season. Since the Flames are interested in winning as many games as possible, and since Sigalet remains employed then I would imagine that they are satisfied with his job performance. And this begs the question: what exactly is it that Sigalet does in his capacity as a goaltending coach, and how well or poorly is he doing those things?

Still puzzled as to why we don't get former NHL goaltenders to coach our goalies??

I would imagine that it is because playing goal is not the only prerequisite that makes one a competent goaltending coach.
