Pretty sure absolutely everyone did. And good ####ing on them for proving each and every one of us wrong. Never thought I'd find myself completely backtracking on my opinion of Gulutzan and his coaching ways. Seeing now that he's a coach players really like to play for. Opposite end of the spectrum from a Sutter, but his methods (once the players submitted themselves to the system) appear to be effective.
Playoffs are huge though and the true test so we shouldn't be making definitive statements yet. A lot of coaches have had flash in the pan seasons in recent years that were heralded after the fact. Two of those guys are out of jobs at the moment, so we'll see how this new coaching style pans out over a couple seasons.

I have no idea what will happen in the playoffs.
However, they have the second best record in the NHL since Feb1.
Pretty damn good for a team that is in the 4th year of a rebuild.
