God we can hope for a new coach. But there's some unbelieveable reaching and grasping at straws going on. Trying to relate the Flames woes to how the Jets were built through patience with Chevy and that coach guy they have..
If I follow not what they're saying but the overall direction of where they want things to go on the radio. Gully may just be back.

It drives me nuts that Wills has really been pushing that narrative. There really isn’t much of a similarity between the teams to suggest that the Flames should hold tight and things will magically be better next year.
The Jets weren’t “all in” last year and didn’t mortgage their future by trading off draft picks for players to push them to the next level like the Flames did this year. The Jets purposely used last year as an investment in their youth movement. It was a bit of a risk on Chevy’s part and I’m sure he hoped it would go better last year, but it was part of their plan to develop youth. Maurice was never on the hot seat (despite the frustration of many fans) as he was simply playing the best he could with the roster he had.
The Flames are basically the opposite of the Jets, although Wills would also have you believe that this season just wasn’t meant to be, as if the outcomes were being determined by some greater power like the hockey Gods.
