In the correct implementation they are all moving forward.

Well if that's the case, then all 3 forwards aren't following the system, at the same time, on multiple shifts every game. And if that were in fact the case, then I would fire the coach immediately.

I've seen GG argue with refs plenty of times. He doesn't scream, but I don't want Patrick Roy (or Jim Playfair) on the bench.

I don't want Roy either. But there is a balance, and Gulutzan errs too far the other way IMO. THere are times when passion is required, when energy is required, when standing up for your players for the sheer sake of it is required. It's part of a coach's job. And he lacks in that regard.
