Thursday’s loss by the Calgary Flames against the Montreal Canadiens was the 10th game for the Flames under interim head coach Geoff Ward. We now have a decently large sample from which to draw some early conclusions about Ward’s tendencies.
Over 10 games, Ward’s Flames are 7-2-1. They’ve played seven home games and just three games on the road, so the possession results might be slightly skewed since the Flames have last change at home and were able to put their players in fairly optimal situations.
