This IMO is largely due to coaching. Julien has won a cup and is getting the most out of the roster provided infront of him so yes, IMO coaching plays a factor and I do believe we would do wonders better with a guy in charge of the bench that has been there, done that.
How management hasn't figured that out yet is mindboggling to me.

On paper doesn't matter.
Why do you believe that it's superior.
When I look at Montreal they have a great goalie.
Their blueline is adequate bolstered by Shea Weber. Jeff Petry is criminally under-rated. But I would give the edge to the Flames.
But I'll tell you I like the make-up of their forward group more. I think they have a more balanced mix of skill, jam/grit, scoring and playmakers. And I think they have more two-way players. And better depth.
You are making an statement that the Flames roster is better and therefore it's coaching.
What if we start to realize that maybe the roster isn't as good as we once thought?
