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.

To each their own I suppose. I don't consider pointing out philosophies that are being over looked by some posters as smug.
I also do not see anything "hilariously ironic" in what I said? When did I mention that my view is based off a short stretch of games? My opinion on Gulutzan's coaching has been formed over the past hundred odd games with him behind the bench.
What about this team has been a roller coaster? They have had hot stretches and cold stretches. If you're expecting the Flames (or any team in the league for that matter) to play a consistent game over the course of the season then you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
Even the best teams in the league get outplayed sometimes. This due to the parity of the league and just the nature of the sport. Sometimes guys have off nights, it happens.
Do you also consider Mike Sullivan, Bruce Boudreau, and Joel Quenville meh coaches because their teams go through cold stretches?
I'm not even trying to argue that Gulutzan is an amazing coach- I'm just pointing out that he isn't terrible like some posters say. I honestly don't know what some of your expectations of consistency are. Do you need 60 plus wins in a season for confirmation that someone is a good coach?
