Being insanely passive in the defensive zone isn't a skill thing, it's a coaching thing. Sending two guys deep to forecheck hard (like the third last night) isn't a skill thing, it's a coaching thing.
Taking forever to make obvious line adjustments is a huge failure of Huska. Having a PP that can't even generate simple scoring chances is a failing of Savard.
I believe this team would be really battling for a playoff spot with competent coaching.
Huska may be nice, but has had zero success as a professional head coach. Lots of coaches can be great in Junior and never make it at the pro level. That's Huska.
Sutter would have this team winning more games. If he had this goaltending last year they would have easily made the playoffs.
Flames went super cheap (again) are getting what they paid for.
