So what happened last season when this slide of Johnny and others started, under a different coach?
They were scoring a ton of goals, first in the West, Johnny was racking up points. Then he, and others, started this slide at around the mid point of the season. And it went on for the rest of the season, they got demolished in the playoffs and here we are in the same boat, a continuation of poor play and poor compete level.
I've said many times I don't really care about Geoff Ward being the coach, if the Flames want to hire someone else to take his place, great. But from what we've seen from the Flames core, specifically Gaudreau, for about a year now under 2 different coaches I'd put the amount of blame on Geoff Ward and his coaching at right around 0%.
