And goaltending is the biggest reason that Ward has had some success as a coach. Easily has received the best goaltending of any of the Flames last 4 head coaches.
Hartley: .901 (29th)
Gulutzan: .906 (23rd)
Peters: .903 (20th)
Ward: .909 (11th and climbing)
So Ward is getting pretty much the same overall outcomes, with much better goaltending, that speaks to me that the team has taken a step back in other areas under him.
