If he doesn't learn to be flexible and adapt his tactics, ice time, lines etc. in-game, he's not going to have a very long career in this league.

So now we are stretching his no talking to players after a game into during the game as well. Interesting.
Gulutzan was tarred for mixing up the lines late in games one and 2 but now he's guilty of not adapting.
This is such baloney. The guy doesn't have skates on and there are 20 guys that do. Gulutzan is the reason this sad sack team is even in the playoffs to begin with and suddenly the guy doesn't know what he's doing in game?
I find these kinds of criticisms to be idiotic unless you have specific scenarios you'd like to lay out where it was a no brainier to do something.
I would say moving ferland the defensive Liability off the top line and putting on the only player who can win a draw onto the top line in the final 7 minutes to be an in game adaptation bit what the #### do I know?
Seriously, the coach? If only it were for Gulutzan the flames would be back to their old ways of being a perennial cup contender and world beaters? After all, this is the same team that cruised to a presidents trophy win and division title, right?
That damned Gulutzan, if it wasn't for him us flames Fan's could get back to toasting our winning ways.
