It sure seems like Ward is trying to coach the 2011 Boston Bruins, instead of the 2021 Calgary Flames. They are trying to be a grind it out, battle along the boards, dump and chase type of team, but that isn't the way this team is built.
I do think that this team has issues with the core and leadership group, but those issues aren't going to get addressed in season.
I just don't think this team is a playoff team this year with the systems that are currently in place.
