Flames fans know they had Hartley who didn’t really sniff at a head coaching job before or after he was with the Flames and has been in the KHL since. Gulutzan was an assistant who had a failed run as head coach and has since been an assistant on a team that hasn’t made the playoffs since he joined them 3 years ago. Peters was a head coach for 4 years and missed the playoffs every year until he came to the Flames and he managed the team so poorly down the stretch they were completely unprepared for their first round. Now Ward who has been a long time assistant who seems in over his head and makes so many head scratching decisions.
This team has had 4 coaches but they have yet to have a really proven guy and it is no surprise the only guy who was a Stanley Cup winning head coach got the most out of this group (with quite easily the worst roster of all the years of this core group)

Anybody bring this up at the Seasons Ticket Holder Meetings? I wonder if they even realize what they do in this regard.
