Glen Gulutzan just happened to luck out as he searched for a way through the locked back door kitty-corner to parking Lot D of the Scotiabank Saddldome on Sunday night.

Wouldn't you know it. He'd forgotten his swipe-card/keys.

"Jags,'' reported the coach mid-afternoon the next day, "actually let me in the building.

"I called him and he came to the back door and let me in. He was still working out. The bike was smokin' by the time he got off.

"He's really made our team better,'' said Gulutzan. "The way his mindset was and the way he approached things, the way he saw the game.

"Especially with Johnny (Gaudreau). His talks with Johnny with what it takes to win the scoring title and do those things he did and the reasons why they're important, how they benefit the team.

"Whenever you're around a guy like that, that's been at a high level for so long, you're going to learn things if your ears are open and you're watching.

"Yeah I think there are going to be lessons there, for sure.

"I've had quite a few chats with him, just some of the nuggets there that he's left me, just what the top guys think and feel.

It was a fun ride with Jags.
