So the coach just draws up the game plan and sits back with popcorn and watches the game for 2.5 hours?
How about recognizing what's going on and managing the game? Taking a time out when things are getting dicey? Throwing your best lines out there when the others aren't working?
What did Gulutzan do in the 2nd intermission to settle the team down and get them refocused after the Ducks late period goal? What did he do after the high stick goal that obviously rattled the team? What did he do between the third period and OT to help the players put the disaster behind them and realize they could still win the game?
Its not all on him but come on. He's the head coach. Rally your troops.
