I was a detractor. I felt he needed to be fired in order to save the season. I didn't think he had what it took to inspire the players to take their game to the next level.
After Stickgate I was intrigued. When I saw him lose his #### at refs vs Anaheim and the players respond with a huge physical game, I thought to myself that maybe, just MAYBE, Gulutzan can turn this around and save the season.
Call it superficial, but I've visually seen more fight out of him and the players have responded. No more of those embarrassing and aggravating performances where the entire team is sleeping until the 50 minute mark.
