Nor do I but when it comes to the AHL I'm not sure coaches are judged as much on wins/losses as they are in the NHL as not all coaches in this league are dealt the same hands. I imagine the Flames are more concerned with how the team is playing and players developing. If they are battling hard and losing close games I don't see a problem. If it gets to the point where the team is losing a lot and looking bad then that's probably not a good situation for player development.

It is concerning looking at the stats of some of these players but ultimately I have faith the Flames know what's best here one way or another.
