Gulutzan is not the guy who can lead this team to the promised land.
This team has been a disappointment so far. Their 3 on 3 record is masking huge deficiencies in 5v5 play and the goaltender has also made their record look better than they are.
Last year should have been the year of figuring everything out and ironing out the inconsistencies. I don't expect the team to go 82-0. But I expect them to be ready to compete every night, and frankly, they are not close to that. The special teams look horrid, and it's mind bottling the players they choose to be on those units.
I'd love to be proved wrong, but based on the last 1.5 seasons, I don't think this coach can lead this group. The last 3 games don't erase what's happened so far this season.
