Really stunned my arse this morning, but after listening to the Fan, reading the thread, and thinking about his for a while I'm on board with the change.

Bob did incredible things during his time in Calgary. As mentioned, he was an integral part in changing the culture of the team and embracing it during a rebuild. He had a magical run last season where he and his staff were able to pull career years out of inexperienced players and win a round in the playoffs. He topped it off with a well-deserved Jack Adams. He was super-likable and genuine.

However, he definitely had some issues that culminated in the bad news today:
-Inability to adapt
-Over reliance on offense
-Negligence of defense
-Over reliance on veterans
-Poor special teams
-Inconsistent accountability

Those are all deficiencies that do not need to be plaguing a young team. He also needs to have some responsibility regarding the goaltending situation (giving Ramo and Hiller an opportunity to find their groove, but not Ortio when the other two were failing).

Thanks for everything Bob. I wish you nothing but the best of luck in the future!
