Has Boudreau ever made it to the finals? No, but he has made it past round 1 many times, and that's more than we can say about the Flames.
He's second among active NHL coaches in career win percentage (among coaches with over 200 games coached). A career 63.6% over almost 1000 games is extremely impressive.
I'm just tired of the Flames hiring:
a) Young and unproven coaches
b) Older coaches without a track record of making the playoffs
Just hire a guy with an impressive resume. Maybe then the players will actually have some respect for the system.

Me to I would be happy being like the Sharks up until this year. A consistent contender and respectable play off team. I don't even need a cup to be happy.
