It makes you wonder if it really was it a mistake? Does he really know better but for some reason didnt do it?

My major concern is that the NHL isnt a League with Training Wheels. These decisions have consequences so you have to wonder if its naivete or inexperience and trust in his players or what the deal was.
Good post Locke. I think with Gulutzan it is 3 variables 1 Inexperience 2 Arrogance 3 unfortunately bad reoccurring coaching habits.
As frequent over the past 2 seasons as a head coach that he points out the teams inconsistant bad habits he has his own and the two most notable ones I notice are that he frequently goes against the norm of what are tried and true methods of hockey gameplans and that often he gets caught up watching the game instead of maintaining his role as a friggin coach.
When the Flames were on the recent streak Gulutzan looked like he was finally turning a page and leaving his above bad habits behind but I guess he didn't.
