Right. While I agree many responses to posters are dismissive and toxic, I don't think it is crazy to have the opinion that goes with a professional coach and against a random internet dude. Not that random internet dude is always wrong.
The toxicity is not a one-way street. If a poster (in particular a mod or owner) comes out in support of current management, he or she is a characterized as a shill for the Flames. Posters make up their minds that they "always" support BT and can't think for themselves, that sort of thing.
In this case, I can say that I was a supporter of Ward. Reason? I thought he was in a near impossible position, being hired half way through a year to replace a racist. A year which was halted due to covid and then restarted in a bubble. No training camp and then a year with no fans playing against 6 other teams. I thought Ward deserved a longer chance. Now with Sutter, I think he is a better coach. But I don't think that because of 6 games this year or some appeal to authority. I am just glad the Flames have him and feel no need to mark down personal wins and losses on an internet site when Flames wins and losses are all that matter (not that they matter all that much).

From HFBoard oiler fan, in analyzing MacT's management:
O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
