I liked Gully getting frustrated, and showing emotion while specifically calling out the veteran leadership that has failed this organization, but I’m with you on this.
Gully calling out Gaudreau for giving it away a few feet into the offensive zone in the 3rd period was my real jumping off point with the coach. It led to a goal against, sure, but it was a giveaway at the offensive blueline - it’s hardly a dire giveaway that didn’t give the team a chance to shut down the opposition’s rush the other way. If he’s going to call out that type of giveaway, it shows just how similar he is to Brent Sutter. “50/50 Hockey” is effectively “Play mistake free 5v5 hockey” and if that’s what he’s demanding, then he’s a bad coach, because it’s not possible.
