Why?

Hartley, Gully, Peters, and now Ward.

A cup champ, young and fresh, a hardass, a career coach.

What’s been missing that gets fixed in the bench?

Man, a lot of hot takes on a team that played decent against a hot Bruins team. You act as if we are a team that plays as consistent as the contenders like Boston or Tampa Bay. If that were the case, we would be one of the best teams in the league. Unfortunately, we are not.

I'm willing to cut them some slack on defence due to the injuries to Gio and Hammi.

Obviously you and I have significant differences in the definition of effort, this group imo is massively underachieving. You don’t see it that way, all good.

People who predicted they would get destroyed in the gameday now losing their minds about a one goal loss in the PGT

If you're going to try another coach you'd better do something with the core of this team.

A quality head coach.

That is literally the reason three guys from Nova Scotia train together though. Logan Shaw of Glace Bay also joins them.

Whew. Here I thought you were looking for a unicorn.

3,4, 8 more tries and I’m sure they will be fine.

I agree, and I would be very surprised to not see some significant changes made to the core this summer.

The passing is atrocious. Taking players from a position of facing the net, to spinning around and turned towards their own goal. Passes bobbling, in feet, unnecessary off the boards, not hitting the open guy, instead hitting the guys with opposition on them. It’s garbage. What’s with having it in the slot, no better spot to shoot from and passing it wide to the boards??

Pucks hung around in no mans land, Flames rarely got to any of them. Most, didn’t even try. Shooting, taking shots as the window closes or the player gets them. Shoot! Right away. So many chances and they delay too much.

The defense, was terrible. How many stretch passes did Boston try and generate offense. Couple times, out forward was the only one back. Lucic, made a nice diving play to knock the puck away.

Their play was absolute garbage. Never seen an NHL game with that much poor play. It takes a lot for me to be disappointed, don’t say much about it. This, was terrible hockey. Dumb decisions and poor execution.

It comes across on the TV as well. Dumb hockey is exactly how the team tends to play and I feel it's completely avoidable. What's extra frustrating is on the road things are generally much better.

The bi-polar effort you see on the road and at home scares me. We should be a good home team but we're not and yet they excel on the road, That's what worries me the most.

Except I just said the effort hasn't been there most of the year if you actually read what I posted

You seem to be certain about who the wrong coaches for these players have been.

Who is the right “quality head coach” ...and why?

Hopefully just one.

Living for pointing out why think you are better than other people must be a miserable existence.

Start with Gaudreau and maybe Monohan. That is of course if we can get a good return. Maybe we also find someone who can take over the leadership role from Gio and let him focus soley on his game.

If Johnny gets traded and goes on to play with an elite center he's going to rip it up. That's gonna hurt.

If we get a good player in return we won't care. Sometimes a change of scenery is needed for a player. Plus if that player becomes a better fit with the core, we win!
