If things were so toxic that the coach is simply outdated and despised as you suggest, the team wouldn't be playing the system to a T and showing up to play every night, they would be mailing in games left, right and center.
This is a team that can't score and couldn't get a save all year (until recently). Call it what it is. That's on everyone from the GM and Coach to the players themselves who are all paid handsomely to produce. Let's not pretend that the same staff that produced the year it did last year is somehow completely inept. Quite honestly, this team should be a whole lot worse in many ways than it is given the goaltending and PP this year, so much of even being afloat is due to the staff not letting this group quit.

But assuming that the Flames miss the playoffs this year they made the playoffs more often on a percentage basis under Ward, Peters and Gulutzan that they will have under Sutter. Not sure what that makes the current regime if those guys were colossal failures.
