"Hearsay", as well as what BT said himself.
At what point do you start to question BT? The second he was hired. He knows he is being constantly judged and questioned. Bollig trade? Pretty crappy. Engelland? Marginal. 3 headed goalie monster? Either the worst thing ever, or nothing, depending on who you ask. You just have to balance all of the moves, and I think it is pretty clear he is doing a good job and he shouldn't be on a short leash. At a minimum, he needs a chance to hire his own coach!
The Flames will need to show positive results, no doubt. BT has shown really good decision making. Calculated and well thought out. For me, his worst mistake was not Raymond or the 3 headed goalie monster, but actually the $$$ given Ramo, when there didn't seem to be any competition for his services. Minor mistake in my judgment, especially when viewed with the big trades and what looks to be a good draft record thus far.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
