Flames Gulutzan sets record straight on Gaudreau missing NYC bus

http://www.calgarysun.com/2017/02/22...ohnny-gaudreau

Quote:
With innuendo swirling about a lifestyle contributing to his worst NHL season to date, many choose to connect dots and assume Gaudreau ran afoul of team rules.

Not so, says Glen Gulutzan who wants the record straight on what happened that day.

“I can tell you this — it wasn’t a big deal,” the Flames' head coach told Postmedia.

“We were in a gong show that day — we were dressing in a hotel ballroom, it was a real mess.

“He was with the trainer, so he came over with him. It was a 10 a.m. bus and I said, ‘hey do your thing, everyone else get there.’ So he jumped in a cab with (head therapist) Kent (Kobelka).

“We got on the bus, and we knew we had Johnny and Kent behind, but we just went and got there. They came in a cab after. We were supposed to be on the ice at 11:30 a.m. and everybody, including Johnny, was on at 11:22 a.m.”

He insists no team rules were broken and no discipline was needed. And, no, none of it had anything to do with Gaudreau being demoted to the fourth line the last two periods of a blowout a week later.

Gulutzan and other team officials said exceptions weren’t made for the superstar, nor were there whispers on the bus about him getting preferential treatment.

For what it’s worth, Gaudreau was with his parents the night before, where they attended his game in New Jersey.
good job everyone who jumped to conclusions

Clearly someone with leverage got to Gulutzen, but who??

Flames ownership? Hockey USA? In house counsel for the Lollipop Guild?

I'd love for another journalist to call Mark Spector out on his BS hit piece, but that will never happen.

I don't know. Situation was discussed on a discussion forum. People had theories, shared them, debunked others. Seems standard.

Why is Gulutzan even addressing this? Seriously? A week later no less?

Last month in Ottawa, for example, Chad Johnson missed the bus as he somehow got the 7:30 p.m. start time messed up. No biggie as he arrived in plenty of time.
Smarten up!

I'm guessing it will never happen.

Those of you with Twitter accounts should let Spector know how you feel.

Honestly didn't believe the story when I first heard it. If it were true and a problem Gaudreau would have been benched.

It was obviously ok with the coach and he knew about it before hand.

I didn't pay any attention to it at the time. Was it ever reported that he was with the head trainer ?
