Now they've found some success and lets see where it goes. I'm far from putting this guy up with Bob Johnson for Flames greats behind the bench.
All I've ever said from the beginning is that I see a committee of brains making decisions, and I trust they wouldn't hire a boat anchor after a process that took that long.

Agree with everything here except the bolded. I don't think any team thinks they are getting a bad coach when they go through their hiring process and brings the guy on board. Well, outside of perhaps a team that is intentionally tanking anyways.
I don't think it was too wrong of fans to lose patience. I myself lost patience before the 20 game mark, and it was simply because the team itself wasn't improving on the ice. They were looking very dysfunctional out there.
They really tightened everything up quite nicely in the last 10 games I have to say. No more 'guaranteed breakaway(s)' for the other team. A lot more organized in the defensive zone. Passing is getting crisper out there and the Flames are 'speeding up' their plays. For that, Gulutzan is very deserving of any and all praise.
Looking forward to an LA game against the 'masters' of grinding out 1-0 and 2-1 wins, and Pittsburgh with great team speed that will test the defence.
