Who should be the next head of the Flames?

[Jihadi Flames Fan]

Geoff Ward. Just name him the INTERIM Head Coach for the remainder of the season.

 

[Mobiandi]

If Geoff Ward splits up Gaudreau and Monahan for longer than 3 games, I say give him the job full-time and the keys to the city

 

[Remember2004]

Bring in a real prick so they will appreciate what they had in Peters .

Thats a funny way to spell "Mike Babcock"

 

[Kranix]

It's going to be Geoff Ward for this season at least. Wish him good luck

The Flames New Coach: Real Nice Guy apparently- His past is clean.

That's a hard no. Sure he has coaching experience, but it's been well documented that he's verbally abusive and exposes himself to players.

The new head after this season should be Jarome Iginla, he has been coaching his kids hockey team. If he does good, that great and if he does not do good, who cares we are heading for a rebuild anyway.

Guessing he’d decline, he has young children.

Probably but I think he would be well liked.

yeah, can’t wait to see and hear the coach dropping racial slurs and punching players during games

Not to mention he's a drunk. And made his 2nd baseman cry.

Not to be mistaken with HHOF Pat Burns, let's consider Monty Burns and the Miracle 1992 Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team and the job he did getting them that ring:

- used his own money and recruitment tactics to bring in some of the best players in the sport
- subsequently lost his entire team except Daryl Strawberry prior to the start of championship game. Team still went on to win, evidence of his ability to build elite depth.
- enforced a working culture, per example of Don Mattingly's sideburns
- unorthodox, out of the box thinking and strategy (picture above)
- went with the analytics and made the gutsy call to pinch hit Homer Simpson for Daryl Strawberry, despite Strawberry hitting a homerun in every AB of the game. Simpson got the winning RBI.
- knows how to win big games. Springfield beat arch rival Shelbyville, even with his own money on the line.

 

[King In The North]

Geoff Ward, long time Assistant Coach from Boston and New Jersey.

Let's see what he does

Hoping that Ward makes the necessary changes to right the Good Ship Lollipop. Hoping that Ward doesn't just carry on doing the same things that Peters has been doing (minus the racial epitaphs and kicking and punching of course). I hope Ward wasn't previously in charge of the PP (15.9% success rate - 24th best in the league).... then again.... maybe I do because if he was he won't be doing it while HC. Whoever is in charge of the PK... let then continue in that position (85.3% - 4th best in the league).

Come on Geoffy!!! You've got another 55 games to prove that you're NHL HC material.

I saw this news headline today and almost had a f'ing heart attack...

Then I clicked on the story and found that someone screwed up the story title photo.

Who is Geoff Ward? Calgary Flames name Bill Peters' interim replacement

Phew!!!

I saw that too, and the worst part is, the first time that headline came out, it actually correctly named Ward instead of Lowe. It got edited after.
