Oh, and link to said tweet:

Is buccigross a reliable source? If so looks like no Carlyle!

No idea of credibility, but just came here to post this.



And then there were two.

Kind of funny that in one year Hartley goes from winning the Jack Adams to no longer even being in the NHL.

Maybe we re-hire him in a few years? seems to be the trend

Anaheim. thank you.

 

[Rangediddy]

Anaheim. thank you.

More like, Treliving, thank you.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

I remember when I was called an idiot (granted, by Leafs and Ducks fans) for saying that the Flames wouldn't hire Randy Carlyle to be the next Flames coach. Feels good being vindicated.

Not really. If Anaheim didn't hire him, he would still be in the running.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

No Randy Carlyle?

I don't get the sense that he was going to get the job here. Sounds like he's been on Tre's list for a while and he was just never hired so I'm going to thank BT for not hiring and leaving him for the ducks.

Regardless, it went from something chance to 0% chance. It's a win.

Why wouldn't GM Brian Burke hire his old pal?

I'm not happy or sad about not hiring Carlyle. He would probably would have been at least as good as Hartley (I think he would have been better) and he would be different, but would it have been the right kind of different? Carlyle is not a bad coach, he coached a bad team and they quit on him because the organization was a complete joke. But he did a good job with what he had.

It's kind of the same about Yao. I don't know if he's good or bad coach, but I doubt many here know the answer to that. We get very limited Minny news around these parts, but it seems like he is regarded quite well by his peers. Minny never lit the world on fire, but their roster isn't anything special either. Like Volica said, I trust Treliving. He's intelligent, he's hard working, he's sticking to his process and no matter who he hires, I trust it's the right guy.

Everyone knows Burke is the one that makes the calls, Treliving is just the mask Burke uses to avoid the media and scrutiny.

Thank you hockey gods.

 

[Volica]

That, honestly, is a huge sigh of a relief.
I really, really didn't want Carlyle. He's an okay coach, but not what this team needed. Anaheim will likely be a monster out West anyways.

Cannot wait to find out who the new guys is. By BT's interview yesterday, looks like they're just getting the contract done.

Would be okay with any of those guys but really happy with Dineen or Reirden.

This new Flames brass has got some mighty balls to them.
None of those guys have a lot of NHL coaching experience; I really hope it works out well.

Dineen or Reirden pls
