It's a results based league. And the results are in.

Gulutzan / Cameron are failing the fan base at every turn.

They've taken the best roster the Flames have put together in 5 seasons, and providing the worst results in franchise history.

The bleeding needs to stop. The Flames aren't rounding some imaginary bend towards great hockey. They suck. It sucks that they suck. They are dead last in goal differential, which by my watch is the easiest way to determine playoff teams from non-playoff teams.

At the beginning of the season I thought that Treliving had done everything he could, and that the only question mark I had coming into the year was coaching.

At this point my question has been answered. The Flames didn't get the right guy for the job.

I'm not surprised. I feel like Treliving ran out of options. He didn't hire the coach until basically the day before development camp. He needed someone out there and his hand was forced.

This team, this town, they deserve better. I understand that Hartley had his flaws and some veterans on the team were critical of his management of Sam Bennett... but look now and tell me that the new coach is doing anything better.

Goaltending was the biggest problem last season. That's what should have been corrected. We should have seen what Hartley could do with two upgrades in net before we tossed everything out and started a new system from scratch with a coach who's had zero success stories.
