I don't see a significant jump in performance. And consistency has never been worse.

It's been a little smoke and mirrors as Darren Haynes has an article today about how to improve the Flames and since Ward took over and you can argue the win/loss record is a little flattering when you consider the Flames are giving up the 5th most shots in the league and the recent 5 game winning streak consisted of winning every game by a single goal. I do think the team has been a little better under Ward but they are still a trainwreck defensively, are nearing team record pace for getting shut out in a season, and Gaudreau and Monahan have yet to get back on track. I'm all for giving him the rest of the season but if the team's overall play overall doesn't get any better than this then I don't think he's done a good enough job to be handed the permanent title without interviewing other candidates.
