Coaching hires, sure. But under him, the Flames have had 4 markedly different coaches, with varying degrees of head coach experience (only Ward had none and he has almost 25 years of AC). And each and every coach has had this team tune him out. That includes Hartley. That includes Peters.
Excluding Hartley and half a year of Peters, all those coaches ended up getting the team to play the same way. Which has me questioning if that's a management decision.

It's been infuriating to watch. I'm not a huge Tippett fan but he at least knows the things that make McDavid click in the o-zone, you don't slow him down and force him into a system, you just let him go.

Yet here, we're slowing down our top guys. I can't stand it
