Of course, ALL teams have bad stretches. That is sports. Not sure how the discussion got to here, but it is irrelevant. The issue was that the Flames are underperforming relative to where they should be. That does not, in any way shape or form, suggest that anyone thinks they aren't going to have bad stretches.
we have a pretty good sample size of Gulutzan's work at this point. And after a year and a half (almost), the team is under .500 in regulation under his watch, despite having a team that should be better than that. That is the elephant in the room.

Now this is very interesting. The point I have been making throughout this thread is that people's idea of where this team should be is out of whack. Both in terms of where they are in the standings, and in terms of what they look like when they play.
Where should this team be in the standings? Why?
What should this team look like when it plays? Why do you think they don't look like what they "should" look like?
