All this talk about "no system", "doesn't know what he is doing", "why is this player on that line" is total noise. Hopefully someone has said this, because the thread (in general) is terrible reading and completely uninformed.

Before the 5 game win streak, it was reasonable to look at firing the head coach. The team was greatly underachieving losing 9 of their last 13, had a struggling power play (still is), and looked fragile and unconfident.
You have the power of hindsight now to say "told you so", but at the time it was reasonable to look at GG. What if the flames lost 5 in a row. We would be saying that the firing was too late.
Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that GG wasn't fired after this 5 game win streak (and I voted yes), I just don't believe this thread was an overreaction.
