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.

Giveaways at the offensive blue are often as harmful as at the defensive blue
It was a terrible play and when asked about it his response was accurate and appropriate
