Interesting, I thought they were the reason the Ducks fired Carlyle the last go round.

Count me among the relieved. He's an alright coach and with that strongish lineup I expect the Ducks to do well next year and even the one after.

But I did't want him with this Flames team. I didn't want the questions regarding how much power Burke has over Treliving's decisions. I didn't want another hardass, gruff coach (not that Hartley totally was this but he leaned towards it), I didn't want a overly-experienced coach (meaning I'm interested in fresh blood), I didn't want a coach that my Oiler, Leaf and Canuck fan friends (why do I have these?) could so easily razz me about. I didn't want someone who is possibly the antithesis of what Treliving claimed we needed when he let Hartley go. Carlyle was all of these things in my opinion.

I want a youngish coach with a reputation as a communicator and teacher who has pro experience, both as a head coach and an assistant (especially with coaches that have great reputations and results ie Quenneville). Especially I want one who seems to understand how important puck possession is.

I still like Kevin Dineen a lot. I am intrigued by Reirden and I think Geoff Ward could be good. Maybe Green. Quite unsure about Gulutzan and leaning towards a "no".

Carlyle is a bullet dodged for me. I don't know how close the bullet actually was but I am happy it didn't hit us.

Winning the conference championship is a little like having the person whom you deem to be the most attractive in the world put their mouth on your genitals for three seconds followed by having a sliding glass patio door slammed on them for the rest of your evening. It felt really good at first but was followed by painful, crushing agony of losing the Stanley Cup.

I agree, but it still doesn't make the DeBoer hire a mistake, which is what many in that thread thought at the time.

Didn't know where to put this, so this will do:

The Mighty Ducks had a terrible Corsi, a sky-high PDO & Bombay should never coach again
