It is bad coaching yes, but GG isn’t telling this team to take stupid penalties in the neutral zone on an icing, or telling them to NOT clear the puck after winning the face off on the PK twice, or telling them to NOT complete a 2 foot pass, or presumably telling them to ignore the slot and stare aimlessly into the crowd, or to lose every single puck battle.
This Flames team has no confidence, no heart and no finish. They play like they don’t give a crap, and get dominated easily. Before the end of November, they will yet again be far out of the playoff hunt and will need another miraculous run to even have hope.
They never learn the simple lessons and continue to repeat the same mistakes, night after night, season after season.
