Well, he's prepared the team well so they start at the drop of the puck. Oh wait...
Well, he's put together a rock solid lineup where all the lines have balance. Oh wait...
Well, he's been really good at recognizing chemistry between players and keeping together guys that on the same wave length. Oh wait...
Well, He's been great at drafting game plans that take advantage of the opposition's weaknesses so the Flames have the best chance to win. Oh wait...
Well, he's been great at handling the young up and comers and make sure they get opportunity to step and contribute. Oh wait...
Well, he's been a master tactician and has matched lines to keep the opposition's best playing against our best checkers. Oh wait...
Well, he's been really good at minimizing the ice time of aging veterans who can't keep up with the play and playing guys that can keep up. Oh wait...
Well, he's been a real motivator and the team is pulling in the same direction. Oh wait...
Well, he's been amazing at handling the media and not letting things turn into a media circus. Oh wait...
Well, he does have two Stanley Cup rings, after guiding his 2011-12 Kings to an 8th place finish in the Western Conference, and his 2013-14 Kings to a 6th place finish in the Western Conference. Just make the playoffs and anything can happen. Elite.
