Gulutzan has to own part of that, but it comes down to everyone that plays as well.

To me personally there was a telling sign from a Versteeg interview the night before game two of the season when he said something along the lines of "I don't think the players realize how good they have it under Glenn as they could never get away with this stuff under other coaches". Yes he said that and it's pretty obvious this team has way too much rope and need some tough love. A lot of people don't like Torts but he knows you can't let the inmates run the asylum and he's firm but fair and this is the kind of coach this team needs. One that's going to put a put a guy like Brodie or Hamilton on the spot when they play poorly and a guy that's going to weed out the individuals (Johansen). I personally don't think there's many if any selfish players on this team but it's pretty clear that whatever Gulutzan is preaching to them is not being taken to heart.
