WTF Flames..... But I guess going from Jack Adams winner to 5th last in the NHL won’t give you job security

Him winning the Jack Adams was a joke. If the awards weren't voted on by idiots he never would have come close to winning.

I wish they would have kept him. He sucks.

Jack Adams is a joke. It never goes to the actual best coach.

Didn't he won a Jack Off Adams award last season means that award is pretty shallow

Can't help but think this happened only because Gabby is available and will be snatched up shortly.

Not one but two good French coaches are looking for a job? That's a rare occurrence. Why the (frank) are the habs keeping Therrien again?

queue the Ron Wilson to Calgary rumors.

Wilson would be great for the Canucks though

No Wilson won't be coming to Calgary. He's not what the Flames need.

Hartley was a development coach, plain and simple. I thought he'd get next year and then not have his contract renewed. That seemed more logical given where the team is at. Now? I do think the timing with Boudreau is ironic though...

So what happens to Gelina, Cloutier, Sigalet? Why not purge the entire coaching group?

The Canucks deserve Torts again...

cloutier was fired alongside Bob, because they've been a package deal his whole career. the rest of the staff was retained, for now anyway

"development coach" yet failed to get special teams and possession significantly off the ground this year despite the improvements made to roster. yes, it's true that his job would probably have been saved with league average goaltending but it's the right move regardless. putting him on a short leash for next year, as many suggested, would have been a half measure
