I'm with Bingo and a little shocked so many want Gulutzan fired.

I tend to think that many are overrating our team or not placing enough blame on the players.

I promise you Gulutzans system does not call for the defense coughing up the puck or firing ill advised passes up the gut.

It does not promote shooting wide or making one pass too many.

It does not advocate our defense misreading and making stupid pinches that get them caught on the wrong side of the puck.

It does not call for the same offenders taking stupid penalties every single game.

It cannot be about choosing to leave a player wide open in the slot.

I'm sure they aren't told to deflect pucks past Smith with their bodies or sticks.

It can't be about hitting as many posts or crossbars as they do.

I mean I also have some problems with Gulutzan. Matt Stajan shouldn't be on the ice at all. Brouwer was seeing too many special team minutes. Sometimes the lines he puts out at certain times is mind boggling. But on the whole I don't think its time to fire the guy.

We have seen the team play well under his system. I put the blame on many of the players misreads or mistakes more than I do on him at this point.
