The question you have to ask is this:
Was it the problem with the system, the coach's message or was it the players fault for not adjusting?
The Canucks have had no problem adjusting to a new coach and system.
Sometimes with the scholarly types like Gulutzan, I think they over complicate things, which could be why the players could not adjust.
You have a master motivator in Darryl Sutter sitting at home in Alberta, who has recently won 2 Stanley Cups in the "new NHL", the first of which, he took over a team mid way through the season. Don't know why this is a hard decision.
Even the wins this year have been disappointing for the most part. Really there's only been one great game from the Flames and that was the Washington game, and when it's just one game, you have to wonder if maybe that performance had as much to do with the Capitals not showing up rather than the Flames playing their perfect game.
