Ward seems like a nice guy, but he ultimately proved to be an incompetent head coach. If you are incapable of calling that out, then you are an incompetent member of a sports media team.
He's hard to listen to or even take seriously.

Lou is fine and without him the station get eminently worse very quickly.
Geoff Ward wasn’t successful as an NHL head coach.
He’s not incompetent either.
There are plenty of examples of incompetency to see the difference. Most notable Dallas Eakins, who took his lumps.
Ward is an intelligent hockey professional. He has his name on the Stanley Cup for a reason.
It didn’t work out here, but everyone who visits this website could learn something from Geoff Ward about hockey. If you enjoy learning about hockey, interacted with Geoff regularly and now do not. It is reasonable to say you would miss it.
It isn’t a stretch to say Loubo would learn something in his daily conversations and interactions with him as well. Geoff was probably open and honest about discussions with hockey and the team. Maybe to a fault.
