Gulutzan's only saving grace at this point is his record is still ~.500. Just when you thought this group had figured things out, they fall back into abject mediocrity. Defensive coverage in their own zone is still a glaring problem, two of the three goals Johnson let in were complete defensive breakdowns. And things didn't get much better in that regard when he was pulled, the first Elliott goal was a gift by the Flames D. You can only blame goaltending for so much, just watch those goals and tell me what the goalies were supposed to do there -- seriously.
No idea how to fix this one, but it is abundantly clear Treliving needs to make some changes soon or the season is as good as lost.
