But they're just not.
You don't have an issue with a team not following their coach when they routinely outplay the opposition.
They are on their way in my mind. I honestly think they are a game or a week away from a stretch (something like 7-2-1) that will put this whole discussion to rest.

How often are we gonna keep saying this though, until it finally happens? Last year, and this season, it's been repeated that the Flames are close to breaking through, but they've been consistent on coming out extremely flat on occasion, and having the least amount of 1st period goals this season. They're good at setting themselves behind against the opponent.
I feel the Flames we've been seeing are what they are until they get a new a coach. I feel if the team was going to trend in the right direction, and win on a regular basis, Gulutzan would have this team delivering by now. This is his second year, and there hasn't been a big roster turnover, and the team has been healthy. So it's not an issue of the team trying to gel with a new coach or system.
