How about recognizing what's going on and managing the game? Taking a time out when things are getting dicey? Throwing your best lines out there when the others aren't working?
What did Gulutzan do in the 2nd intermission to settle the team down and get them refocused after the Ducks late period goal? What did he do after the high stick goal that obviously rattled the team? What did he do between the third period and OT to help the players put the disaster behind them and realize they could still win the game?
Its not all on him but come on. He's the head coach. Rally your troops.

I don't know what he did, I wasn't in the locker room like you were. Could you enlighten us to what he did/didn't do in the intermissions? What should be have done with the highstick call? Call a timeout after the players stood around for 5 minutes while the refs looked at it?
Again, I have no idea what he said after the second period, but the Flames held the Ducks to 1 shot on net for the first 10 minutes of the third, so whatever he said to keep them focused worked.
I really fail to see where you can lay anything of these losses on the coach.
