In between the win streak and the start of the recent losing streak (so from the Tampa game to Florida game) they beat Arizona and Colorado 4 times, Vancouver twice and Florida once. The only team they managed to beat that could be considered a decent team during that stretch is SJ once. They went .500 during that time.
That's not bad but that's not "playing quite well" considering they followed it up with a 4 game losing streak where 3 of the losses were blow outs.
We'll see how they respond to the Loss against the Rangers tonight. They have looked the best they have since that win streak lately so hopefully they got the prolonged losing streaks out of the way.

"He has the Flames in or close to a Wildcard playoff spot, and except for that horrible stretch pre all star game had guided the Flames to a incredibly good record after the slow start."
I disagree that they have been playing "Incredibly Good" since that slow start and think that simply ignoring two months of bad play and then another 4 games in a row is being disingenuous. Doesn't matter though, if you guys are happy with how the team has played this season than sweet. Maybe I'm in the minority but I'd jump all over the chance to get a good coach behind the bench.
