I'm not suggesting he is the sole reason they lost, or any reason really (although he does make some curious moves that I would strongly disagree with), I'm just thinking aloud, a coach can make a huge difference, just look at St. Louis. Last in the league in January, coaching change made, going strong in the second round.
Just pointing out, Caroline made it, and are doing quite well, as soon as he left and and he had a good team in the Flames that basically did nothing when they made it.
