Who knows, maybe GG and Hartley just coached this team in the wrong order, but whatever it is, it feels like something is missing.

Yeah it's kind of one of those things that you hope that over time things get sorted out and by middle of the season and this thread is bumped for the right reasons. It's just that I see new to the NHL and relatively unheralded coaches like John Hynes, Bill Peters, even Travis Green to date doing good things with their clubs and with Gulutzan the team seems to be spinning its wheels a bit. I sympathize with GM's as when it comes to hiring head coaches it's a bit of a crap shoot as Green was a runner up for the Flames job and you have to wonder how things would have played out if he got the job.
