The Flames had the 11th ranked offense in the league. They have one of the best players in the NHL at gaining entry and dishing the puck. They have three highly skilled, puck-moving d-men, who many on this forum believed were good enough to be on top World Cup teams. The personnel was there for at least an average powerplay.
Special teams are the most coachable part of the game. Coaches are often brought in to specifically to address special teams. The Flames coaching staff did a poor job with special teams, and it's one of the reasons the head coach was let go.

Yep Gelinas did below average work last season. I like Gelinas and if they want to keep him with the organization that's fine by me but IMO the next head coach shouldn't be saddled with him unless he truly wants to work with him as this type of nepotism is the kind of stuff that the Oilers did forcing guys like Buchberger as assistants. I'm not saying I want him fired but I'm a little concerned that he's possibly being anointed an assistant job without a lot of successful merit.
