Beating the Jets AHL squad isn't much to brag about. I will give Ward some credit as for once he actually managed to get a Flames team to come out of a long break playing decent hockey in that series but we are talking about a guy that would probably have a difficult time putting a small lego set together for his kids. Some of the dumbest player deployment I have seen from any head coach ever. He's a throwback to the days of coaching where it was considered genius for a head coach to have a guy sit on the bench for an entire 60 minute playoff game effectively playing shorthanded all game and put him on the ice in OT where he gets a goal. Like that was some master plan when it was really stupidity that worked out in his favor through sheer luck.
