If the Flames miss the playoffs 7 straight seasons and are still finishing last in the division (like have they ever? let alone 3 straight years) I certainly won't be defending their staff. I get the ninja edit but really, people who actually read my posts will realize I only defend the over the top bashing.
I'm not even saying he is bad I was responding to someone who said he was a really good coach, like he has ZERO track record.
"they are still a few years out" lol if I am saying that after years of not making the playoffs and 3 straight last place finishes god help us all.

The first person you replied to called him "an underrated coach" ...I think you're the only one that said he was a really good coach or a great coach.
He's had two seasons coaching a rebuilding team, and he's probably got about as much out of that roster as you'd expect and the young guys have taken a good step forward.
And this whole "no playoffs for 7 years" narrative you're throwing out there is pretty false man.
They made the Covid bubble playoffs. Then made the Canadian bubble playoffs (ahead of the Flames) and made it to the finals.
You can't just ignore those seasons and then say "rebuilding for 7 years". The results of those seasons impacted their draft picks which means it impacts a rebuild.
In reality their rebuild started when Carey Price LTIR injury retired which was 3 years ago now and St Louis has been coach for only 2 full seasons in that time.
It's like saying the Flames last rebuild started in 2009-2010 and not in 2013 when they traded Iggy.
