The Flames don't care what you think of their goaltending coach, Erick.

Well, then you don't understand what "anecdotal" is and is not. In your powerplay example the problem could be the coach, but it could also be the problem of having a marginal collection of players for half a decade that do not possess the skill and intelligence to execute a powerplay properly. It's an "anecdotal" observation, because it was made from casual and informal viewings from a distance. On the other hand, since I can clearly see how good or average the players are, then this pretty obviously indicates that the problem is not the coach. My observation is also anecdotal, but my knowledge about the players is still a lot more reliable than that of what the coach is doing or not doing.
