You guys realize he has a former NHL head coach as one of his assistants. If they fire GG, Cameron will be the head coach at least for this year.
I don't think the Flames are going to pay GG his salary to sit at home and bring in someone like Sutter who will want a hefty salary.
This is the team and the coach. In the end they will still make the playoffs but get bounced quickly like last year. They're simply not as good as people thought they would be. Treiliving has to take a lot of blame here too. 1/3 of the roster is garbage.
How Hamilton, Glass, Stajan, Brouwer, Bartowski, Lazar, Versteeg have played this much already this year is beyond me. None of these players would be claimed if they were on waiver wire.
Tkachuk is being wasted on a defensive line. He has so much more to give and should be playing with Gaudreau and Monahan, instead he's stuck playing against other top lines and play prevent instead of attack.
Ferland has shown what he is, inconsistent bottom 6 forward. He has literally shown 2 good runs, once vs Canucks in playoffs and one last years late stretch. He needs to be told he's a bottom liner and play like his job is on the line.
Bennett? ya that's beating a dead horse.
The funny thing is the team can't score yet there is no adjustment. They bring in Glass instead of Lazar, f'n bartowski over Kulak and expect things to fix themselves.
Anyways if GG goes, expect Cameron to be the new coach, that's not any better.
