When we actually see a consistent competitive team, not this up and down roller coaster ride it's been under Gulatzan, I'll change my opinion completely.
Until then, he's a pretty meh coach to me.

I'm not sure what standard you expect for consistency. This year, at the quarter mark, they've lost 2 in a row only twice, and there's no losing streaks longer than that. They've had two 3 game winning streaks and two 2 game streaks (including the current one). In comparison, the Pens have had
four two game losing streaks, three two game winning streaks and one three game winning streak.
Last year, after the slow first quarter and its learning curve, they had 5 two game losing streaks, and one four game losing streak. Against four two game winning streaks, and one each of 3, 6 and 10 game winning streaks.
Their record is pretty consistent and better than most teams in that dept.
