Coaching in today’s game is basically identical. There’s barely any variation at all. Coaches all demand lines to defend well, stay structured and then transition to score. Powerplays and penalty kills are all the same as well. Teams all seemingly play the 1-3-1 these days and penalty kills all defend it the same.
I just don’t see how bringing in a new coach changes anything at all. Do certain players or the powerplay just magically learn how to put a puck in the net? Just don’t see it happening.

How about this... Do you think GG will ever get another head coaching gig in the NHL after he's fired this off season? I don't. It's obviously not all his fault that the team is under performing, but his ability to fix it is obviously non existent.
He's clearly not a next level coach. Real nice that he's achieved mediocrity, but he has no idea what kind of adjustments to make inside and outside of games, no idea when or how to push players' buttons, and simply is not doing the job he was hired to do - which was to take the Flames to the next level. Bargain coach wasn't much of a bargain after all. Same old Flames.
