Plenty of people have presented actual evidence that he’s a good coach, or a bad coach, but my post was directly in response to the “eye test” and I didn’t begin to pretend that my own post was anything but my own observations based on the eye test. As I said, watching other teams, I’m just not seeing anything uniquely bad about the Flames in terms of laziness, readiness, or mistakes. The expectations for these things to not exist, or even exist less, just don’t seem realistic to me since I can’t say there is a team in the league that doesn’t make the same mistakes or come out in a period “not ready.” Is it coaching that makes the difference? Or the build of the team?

I’m not here to convince anyone, and if you’ve followed my posts on the subject as closely as you’re saying, you’d see that why I’m in favour of him, i’ve admitted the Flames play a bit boring under him and that he may not be the right coach at the right time, even if I think he’s a good coach in general.

Maybe I haven’t seen other teams enough, or the Flames enough, but I just can’t say I watch a Flames game where they “fail the eye test” any more than any other team.
