He's definitely not wrong. He always seems to be right on point in his interviews regarding his view on the team and their struggles. However, I see little evidence in his ability to work with the team to address and resolve the issues in a timely fashion.
Do we need to wait till the next road trip where there's time for a train ride??

The question I have is: who is the one person who is in a position to do something about that?
IMO, Gulutzan is condemning himself here.
And I'll take it in the other direction....
He is basically saying that he thinks the players need to relax and not get too emotional. But look at Hamilton. Dougie is trying to be as relaxed as possible - and it is making him look like he has no passion.
Hockey is a game that needs to be (and is best) played with emotion. But the Flames completely lack it right now. And IMO, that is all about his coaching style.
