Sometimes you just need a fresh set of eyes or ideas that might move the team forward. He’s been saying since 2018 that changes are coming. But now instead of trading players, he’s lost players and it made the entire city of Calgary look like a joke. |
That’s fine, but your logic is flawed in regards to evaluating his performance. For starters BT wasn’t hired until after we missed inn2014, so that’s not him.
Less than half the teams in the NHL make the playoffs each year. But we’ll round up to say average is 50%. The Flames have made the playoffs 5/8 seasons under BT. So he’s at 62%, that’s better than average.
Only 25% of teams win a round each year. Meaning a team should win a 1st round 1 in every 4 years. BT has done exactly that. So not under performing.
Averages suggest you should make the conference finals 1 in 8 years. We have failed to do that, so fair ball.
But the above IMO doesn’t account for the fact BT didn’t inherit an average NHL team. He came on board to IMO one of the worst rosters in the NHL, and he’s got a small market Canadian club. IMO your stats actually point to above average performance.
