I would answer "yes" if there were a suitable (and likely) candidate to replace him. Just don't think that D Sutter, Tippett or Hartley are any of those. There may be a reason coaches haven't been fired this year yet --- there are not a lot of reasonable replacements.
The brand of hockey the Flames are playing is miserable, boring and predictable. And, predictably, non-aggressive except when they're down by several goals with mere moments left in the game. THEN they play well (mostly).
My vote is for Gaskal to take over the PP right now.....I've seen better analysis from him (assuming Gaskal is a "him") than from anyone on the Flames team so far. And likely would have better results.
I just don't see Tre doing anything. Not now, and maybe not until after Jan 25. And maybe not even then. All of which combines to just *&^%$ me off.
But, as I started this, I just also don't see a viable alternative right now.
OTOH, he *could* start by firing Cameron - but I'm not sure he can if Cameron was GG's hire.
