Coaching is clearly letting this team down. This team should be doing better than this.

I was watching Gallant all game and he was engaged with the players, patting them on the backs and talking to them everytime the camera panned over. He looked intense on the bench. But you just know the players are playing for him.
Camera pans to the Flames bench and it's GG with his head down watching the floor monitor, Gaudreau looking like he's going to cry and no one talking. At least the trainer's son looked like he was having fun.
Just piss poor leadership from the entire team. And not just the coaching. No one on the Flames bench looking like they have it in them to make a comeback. Just heads down, like a bunch of defeated school kids.
Perfect time to call a timeout. While it might not have resulted in a goal, it gives the team a chance to collect themselves. Nope. Our coach saves his timeouts just in case he needs to challenge a goal. That is exactly why he does not call timeouts. Serious question - has there been a time out called at any point this season? Our coach puts on the same line that just got scored on. Our coach 'asks' the players if they are fresh, and of course they say they are.
All game long I imagined we had the other GG behind the bench (Gallant). I imagined the team as skilled as we are, playing for a coach like him and hitting their potential.
We have the wrong GG behind the bench.
