Come save me Bruce Boudreau!!
Serious question....would you want to coach this outfit with the GM still intimating the "answer is in the room"?
I really need to know what question that could satisfy.
Mind blowing.

At present moment, I would take Gallant, Boudreau, D. Sutter or even Julien.
This is how you answer a question without a further barrage of questions.
The reason you can't answer mine is because you don't know what Ward is doing well with this team, because its not a lot.
And again....literally no one on the board is saying the players have been good enough.

Nope.
The Ward supporters will also talk about how he’s the 4th coach that’s failed with this roster.
Ignoring that he actually has them playing worse than any of the three previous coaches (Gulutzan included) and he’s actually getting by far the best goaltending of the group of coaches and still can’t win.
Players aren’t off the hook and they shoulder the blame too. But it’s clear that this coach is the worst coach we’ve had in years and is in way over his head as well.

So Sean.....who can change YOU and your peers to play at an acceptable level?
Ive been with this team since April of 1980. There have been far more talented teams...there have been far less talented teams....there has never ever been a more heartless team and it isnt even close.

I felt like Robert watching the last 10 minutes of that game.
I did not see an ounce of Robert in Giordano, the Coach or any of the players though.
Maybe David Rittich, bless his soul.

We’re significantly worse than a team that has done literally everything wrong except win a lottery.
That right there should show that bottoming out is a better strategy than whatever the hell it was Treliving and the Flames did.

You have to be taking crazy pills to think you can evaluate this team based on the how they perform with Ward at the helm.

It's actually remarkable.
How bad must you be when even your biggest supporters can't name 1 thing they like about you?

Okay I misread his rant.
Not a lot of people who want to coach turn down NHL head coaching jobs. If the Flames can't attract an experienced coach that's an even deeper organizational problem.

Are there actually Ward supporters? I don't think there are.
I think there are people that believe the core of this team is the primary problem and there are people that believe the coaching is the primary problem, and there are people that believe both contribute in some manner.
But are there any actual Ward supporters?

I don't think anyone is supporting Ward. Not many at least. He wasn't a very popular hire right from the get go. I just think many see other problems bigger than Ward. I think most would have no problem if he was let go. I just doubt it's gonna happen anytime soon.

I don’t know a single “Ward supporter” on this board. You are mistaking people who say a new/better coach won’t move the needle much, and also the times when people disagree with a particular criticism because they think it’s incorrect.

Well at this stage the roster will be heading to coach #5. If I'm Gallant I'm waiting for the right team, not this one.
Maybe if I'm Bodreau and seeing the end of my coaching career closing in - I take a crack at this sad sack group.

Crazy to watch an Oilers game and wish we had players with the heart and competitiveness of Chiasson and Russell.

But good answer without "a barrage of questions". Whatever the hell that means.
And since you apparently know what it is that Ward is or isnt doing
please feel free to share with everyone.
