Ward had a much better roster playing like ####.

Not sure Monahan has been healthy all year, but right. Plus, it takes time to turn a ship.
I do think Ward lacked a decent camp like a lot of new coaches get, and never really got his footing from the time he took over.
I agree the team looks better even though the record is about the same (until garbage time anyway).
