At the end of the day, its a hockey team I don't play for so I'm never going to panic, I'm going to lose my ability to take time to watch it.

So no for me its not time to panic.

for the Flames its never time to panic.

Cliff Fletcher once said that you don't make trades when your hockey team is struggling, because your going to pull the trigger on a panic deal that will hurt you. You wait until things stabilize and then you make changes.

I think the Flames have learned their lesson a few times about hiring an inexperienced coach or one without much of a track record. They did it with Gilbert (who I liked) they did it with playfair and now they've done it with GG.

The time for a teaching coach for a young team where he teaches systems and gently brings a young core along is past. This should have been the time to either bring in a absolute monster who raises expectations and pushes this team beyond their envelope or keep Bob who was a tyrant and fill his staff out with a players coach to sooth hurt feelings and a tactical genius.

I'm feeling like GG who probably has a good head for hockey tactics is lacking in the absolute kicking of a$$ level and we're missing it because it looks like this group of players is either incapable or doesn't want to play this system at full speed.

Is it time to panic and fire the coach 18 games it? Folks I hate to break it to you but it ain't going to happen. He's going to get this year and 20 games of next year to get this stuff figured out.
