The problem has always been the Flames franchise in general, he's not a fit with this team, and we haven't done much to make it a good fit. He's just not going to get a ton of points playing with Coleman and Backlund, just like last year when he was playing with Lucic. It's not like our system has changed much, and Huska isn't known for coaching teams that are offensively creative.

I just find it annoying when all anyone is looking for are mistakes. He makes them, but he makes good plays as well. It's tiring.

Calgary's forward group just isn't great.
Which starts with the highest paid player.

It's his fault for giving a team a taste of success as it's coach?

This is some warped thinking.

Management and ownership deluding themselves in the face of conflicting evidence over and over again is entirely on them.

Darryl didn't tell them to continue defining insanity.
