It's a 2-3 road trip, the team is inconsistent and annoying as hell, but I don't think the organization is considering sweeping change 10 games into a very strange season.

Maybe I need to get more mad? I just don't understand the extremes from some I guess.

I'm honestly supposed to believe that the coach that the players all loved and supported after the bubble playoff series is now the enemy in the dressing room after 10 games?
Its not 10 games its an ongoing pattern of performance, and a pretty bad start to a shortened season. If the Flames lose tomorrow its definitely all trending the wrong way. We've all seen this show before. People are frustrated that the team didn't get an experienced coach or make a change to core -- both of which were fairly obvious strategies to utilized given the inability to succeed in the playoffs the last few of years. There's more reason to be frustrated right now. What year of the rebuild is this? The 6th?

The team, who is supposed to be in a contending window, hired yet another unproven coach. Most fans didn't want that. It's up to them to prove it was a good move. So far, it isn't proving to be. Let's hope that changes.
