Given where all the experts thought the Flames would finish last year and this, wins and standings don't mean as much as factors like: Does he have a good relationship with the players, can he motivate them, is he teaching young players to be better, does the team look like it's playing hard and consistently for him, is he able to get the team to adjust to the opponents' game, etc. The impression I get is that by those criteria he's doing pretty well.
