Far too much concern is put on results. Some players aren't playing well right now. Is that the coach's fault?
Seems to me it was GG's fault for us being a goalie graveyard the last few years. Where's the praise now that Smith is playing well?
Where's the talk of the success of zone entry and set-up on the powerplay? What about the quality PK we've had despite being one of the most penalized teams in the league (was it GG taking those penalties?)?
How can GG have been a good coach last year during our quality play that got us into the playoffs but now he sucks?
Or maybe there's something else factoring in.

It's a pro sports team, results are the most important thing. The powerplay is bottom 1/3 of the league, zone entry doesn't really matter when the results aren't there.
As for penalties, how did Hartley have them play the least penalized brand of hockey in the entire league? Did the whole team just get mind wiped of their discipline? The PK is 26th, also limited in the results department.
What do you want the Flames to be if results don't matter? A feeder team?
