I fully expected to be in the minority, but I think should/will keep Ward. This has to be the weirdest Flames season ever, with Covid and the dismissal of Peters. "Should" is a bit strong, but I don't see the Flames getting Gallant or Lavoillette or any other obvious upgrade. If so, I think Ward should have an opportunity for a full season behind the bench with a regular training camp and off season for personnel changes.
I think BT "will" keep him, for the reasons above and I am not so sure he has another chance at a HC hire. All bets are off if BT gets canned.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
