Good teacher just couldn't get the mental part down himself.

Flames need to stop cheaping out on coaches.

Would you trade #17 for Jonathan Quick?

Nope. Contract is too long and playing behind the Kings makes every goaltender look better than they really are. We really have to consider that most goaltenders that come to Calgary will see their stats dip so any goaltender tied up long term is a huge gamble. Heck even Johnson put up better stats on a terrible Buffalo team so part of this has to be attributed to Sigalet but the other part is that defensively the Flames are not a very good hockey team relative to the strong defensive teams in the NHL.

Why is your imperative to defend any coach at all costs?
Whoa that post is over a year old.
I think last year (when I posted that) it certainly was crap in crap out.
This year - tougher to say.
Elliott is an odd guy. Has great numbers but has never been able to be a full time #1. And I think we see some of the reasons why.
Ill-timed goals and inconsistency.
At this point should the Flames consider a different goalie coach? Probably. It has simply been a problem for too long.
But I also think they need to simply resign themselves to paying the required price for a true #1.
