The fact that this is the worst team at obtaining the zone and preventing their opponent says terrible things about Ward.

The players aren’t free from blame but to think that the coaching staff isn’t contributing to the problems is ridiculous.
IMO Ward is worse than Gulutzan was from a system perspective, and is worse from a bench management point of view too.
Ward has the best roster available to him compared to any of the Flames previous coaches with this core, and IMO he’s getting the least out of them. He’s only been more successful because he gotten the best goaltending of any of the four coaches.
