So do you remove Ward from the spot which is pretty harsh for him and might shake up a locker room that has played quite well under him.
Or do you go out and get a guy that has a better, and proven pedigree as a top NHL coach.
Personally I think I would do it for Gallant as I think that's the better long term decision but get that it's maybe not that simple based on how the team has played. Initially I wanted them to do it for Laviolette but my stance there has softened too since I think he's more of a shelf life coach.

Then Brad needs to ask himself whether the Flames' play has actually gotten better since Peters was fired or if the bounces are finally going our way.
I don't see a significant jump in performance. And consistency has never been worse.
