What I meant by hindsight was that your comments were made after they didn't tie the game. The Flames are currently 8th in the NHL in win percentage when they're trailing going into the 3rd period. If Huska is to blame for not playing Huberdeau, then he should get credit for the comebacks as well.
Vladar still had a .909sv%. He gave them a chance to win. And since we're speculating on what could've happened Huberdeau could've been gassed in the last minute, or given the puck away or whatever leading to the same result.

The system is under the coach's control, but the implementation is in the control of the players. IMO this version of the Flames is a lot more exciting, and creative offensively than last year under Sutter. You've also had a bias against Huska since he was hired.
Finally, I've been arguing that blaming the coach for everything is misguided, and we did that with Hartley, Gulutzan, Peters, Ward, and Sutter in recent memory. It's an easy solution to get a new HC every 2 years. This team's performance is product of mediocre roster construction rather than coaching.
