Why is there no accountability for the players?
I find a way to be good at my job regardless the system or 'identity' that is built around me. That's a BS excuse.
Sure GG and BT should have to answer to why the team is in the bottom of the standings but players need some accountability as well.
'Identity'... JC, if these guys get paid 6 million dollars a year and they suck because of identity sounds like they are overpaid.
How bout the players show some work ethic and help to build this 'identity'.

One of the most important parts of coaching is keeping players accountable. Sure the top-end players have sucked, but it's largely up to the coach to snap them out of it. Some coaches motivate, some coaches teach, other punish. At the end of the day, coaches have to help their players succeed. Bosses are there to help their employees succeed, and at the end of the day, they are held accountable for the performance of their group.
Work ethic has not been a major determinant for the Flames' failures this year. The guys are trying. If the team wants to build an identity, they're going to have to communicate on a preferred style, agree on it, then execute. Once again, the coaches are in charge of this type of execution.
Gulutzan and his staff may be able to help turn things around. It's starting to look like Johnny Hockey is back. But Monahan, Brodie, Giordano, Elliott and others all have to perform as well.
If the Flames do succeed, I will happily give both the players and the coaches credit.
Everyone should be held accountable.
