You people are just so hung up on the idea that this team is supposed to be a Stanley Cup contender and because we’re not, it surely must be the coach.
News flash everyone, this team has lost the majority of their games because of the players on the ice, not the system. Bad penalties, turnovers, own goals, inability to finish, special teams, lack of bottom 6 scoring, these are the things that have been plaguing this team this year. These are not things that Gulutzen himself can necessarily control. The players play the game and they’re prepared on most nights to win, that’s on Gulutzen, it’s up to the players to cross that finish line, but they keep shooting themselves in the foot.
My main point is, everyone here just needs to stop making the coach the scapegoat here because even if Gulutzen were fired, there’s no guarantee that the next guy will make this team any better either.

The team is sliding down the standings and is not showing any improvement in areas theyve struggled under GlueGun's tenure here.
Were playing well visually? Is that a moral victory for us? Is this similar to how Craig MacTavish said the Oilers were visually playing better even though they were continuing losing games? Were in trouble if were using Oiler logic to justify our mounting losses.
And youre right, there is no guarantee a new coach turns things around and gets us into the playoffs, but there not being a guarantee shouldnt be a reason to do nothing and stick with the failing GlueGun.
