I just think the narrative that goalies diminished under him is not a fair way of evaluating him.
Though I still think the crud in crud out argument applies.

The crud in crud out argument is kind of flawed as he overseen crud into manure. Every single goaltender that has joined the Flames regardless of their pedigree has put up numbers worse than their previous season or career average. I simply think this cannot be ignored as there's plenty of goaltending coaches that actually contribute to improved play of their goaltenders. I think you can attribute that to some shoddy defensive play there's not a lick of evidence to show that he's getting the most out of the goaltenders or improving their games. I realize it's his livelihood and he has a family to support, etc but the results simply haven't been there and can the team afford to go into next season assuming he's not part of the problem? It's relatively inexpensive to change goaltending coaches so I simply don't understand why they wouldn't go in a different direction if only to move on from everything that hasn't been working.
