There is no denying that he is a fantastic all around coach - but he's also not perfect, and can at times get in his own way. He much like anyone else in the organization should not be immune to criticism, and there is some very obvious decisions that some here take issue with.
Winning just 19 of 41 games to begin the year doesn't exactly inspire confidence, but the season certainly isn't lost, and there is some encouraging signs as of late (besides last game). At some point we need to string together more than 2 or 3 wins in a row.
It's not all roses and rainbows as we sit here today - but I would agree it's also not nearly as bad as some here would suggest.

The point you brought up about his teams from LA and now Calgary control shot shares to a large extent but the finishing lacks with poor shooting %. Its's not like those LA teams and Calgary now is built of a team of grinders so what gives?
If we are in the bottom of the league in high danger chances that is one thing but neither of those are so why such a low shooting %?
