The Sutters only coached here because it was the closest NHL job to their farms.
I’m not saying Gully doesn’t deserve criticism, but if we get rid of him, do we find an upgrade? Or just more of the same? Or worse? I think as fans we need to show some patience. Gully has shown glimpses of being able to turn these guys around. I think we need to give him some benefit of the doubt because there is no magic fix around the corner.
