What evidence of Ward being a good coach am I ignoring. Because if you can't provide some then you can't claim I am guilty of confirmation bias. Who is having years above expectation? Who is at expectation? Maybe Lindholm and Mangiapane are at expectations. Everyone else is either slightly or well below.
My point was simple. We are told the players don't care or aren't trying. I described two players who will do whatever Ward asks them to do, and both are performing below expectations. Or are they also not trying?
Nobody is doing mental gymnastics to make Ward a bad coach. His results with the Flames thus far and his meagre body of work as a head coach point to him being completely mediocre.
Many have asked, and we are still waiting for some description of the positive things Ward does as a head coach. Until some positives are pointed out I'm not sure how you can accuse me of confirmation bias because I point out the negatives.
