Man if this is the case I will try real hard to stay optimistic but it's just so Calgary Flames to pass on a hot head coach prospect in their own backyard for a meh candidate. I could see passing on Love if they want a an experienced head coach but Huska? Not sure what Huska has done to merit consideration as his AHL record was not very good and in the WHL he had the one championship season and a lot of early playoff exits. Love may have not coached as long but his winning percentage in the WHL and AHL is a ridiculous .700. I also don't think it's a great idea to have one of the guys that just served on the bench under a coach they hated take the head coach position as I think the players would rather appreciate a fresh face as head coach. I don't see what Muller brought to the team as the powerplay was not good at all this season. If that's the direction they are going I would rather Gallant or Brunette. Also not sure why Tangs would want to make a lateral move to work under a rookie head coach where things could go bad. Staying with the Wings would likely be better for him as they are trending up.
