These guys shouldn't need a coach to provide that push.
I'm stunned about how some continue to let these millionaire players off the hook for poor execution.

Yes I do believe the coach should be a motivator. It actually seems pretty obvious.
When you have a group of people trying to achieve something someone has to give them an overall direction and figure out how to get the most out of everyone's skill sets. You can apply this to any team effort in life, not just hockey.
You are making it seem like the Flames should just be able to put a pylon behind the bench (insert joke about Gulutzan here).
