no coach can save a team that has it's best 5 or 6 players floundering.
Gaudreau, Monahan, Brodie, Giordano, Hamilton have all spluttered to start the season. That's what? 38M dollars of salary not playing up to snuff.
Like last week when we heard Gulutzan F-bombing the players for poor decisions on zone entries, it's largely performance based so far this season.
He's not coaching "hey guys lets make sure we take the puck into the most traffic possible. Oh and guys when the pucks loose make sure you turn the wrong way and let the opposite team collect it. And Gio ... lets get that stick up, we need more minor penalties buddy!"
