			Nah, I've watched this same team play with far more effort many times this year.

			Literally zero offensive presence on this team. 
 
It's painful to watch often times.

I'm not quite there where I want him fired, but I think skepticism of the coaching is warranted. Unfortunately you have committed the crime of "being right too early."

No, I am not taking a break just because I found a thing I find negative about the Flames just because that sends you off tilt. The team can do things wrong, despite what you always think. You don't always have to be a total homer Dino.

Yup. Awesome person and representative. But he’s never gonna win a game single handedly or put the team on his back in some other way. Time has passed him by. 
 
But he also looks like he’s mailed it in and is going through the motions.

Ok, give me Huska's pro record as a head coach and where his teams have ranked in GF and convince me why he is a good coach. Change my mind.

I mean every coach gets fired eventually...the question is would many have the Flames in a better spot right now?  I doubt it.  He certainly hasnt been bad, team is above expectations.

He’s dealing with a really uncomfortable injury at the moment. He can’t shoot a puck more than 50%.

No, goaltending has been above expectations. They have way more talent up front then their GF shows.

			Flames top 4 offensive players are Huberdeau, Kadri, Zary, Frost and Coronato.  Is that a lot better than Celebrini, Granlund, Eklund, Zetterlund and Toffoli?
