I just find the brand itself boring. No emotion from the coach, no inspiration, and the players are focusing too much on sticking to some failing system instead of just playing hockey. Systems are important of course, but hockey is 90% mental. As bad as Hartley was at utilizing a system, Gulutzan is as bad in instilling any emotion. Hartley would be red in the face yelling at the refs after their pathetic officiating over the past year and half. GG just looks so passive and weak. Tough choices right now for Treliving I think. If he sticks with GG and he loses the room we might be out by December. Or we turn it around like we did last year and go on a run. The way we're playing right now though I don't see that happening. If it weren't for Smith in net, we're worse than last year. I don't mind losing, as long as the game itself is entertaining.
