Don't get me wrong, I still think Gulutzan is an awful coach.
But the Flames will probably do better in the next 6 games, and the feelings will probably improve. They can't do much worse than losing 4 games in a row. Unless they push it to 10 of course...
But we're seen a good chunk of the season now, and the Flames have hardly progressed at all. I think it's pretty clear that Gulutzan was not the best choice for coach.
It's annoying how Boudreau, the winningest % coach of all time, was available. Treliving was slow, because he wanted to follow his huge multitude of processes. Minnesota was decisive, and managed to snag him quickly. What does Treliving do? He ends up hiring a processed-based coach. And it's been a flop.
Gulutzan is probably great at interviews. However, he's evidently not good at coaching. He hasn't really succeeded at any level.
