I believe that the sample size is big enough now to know what we have in Gulutzan and his staff.

The supporters or the pro Gulutzan folks point to the team's improved advanced stats that would suggest that the team has gotten better under Gulutzan. I would disagree.

The whole premise behind Corsi and a lot of these other possession statistics is to provide a large picture of what is going on with the teams chances for and against - the idea being that if these possession numbers are better over time luck and shooting percentage will even out and you'll win more than you lose.

I don't see a team that's better. I see a team that based purely on the eyeball test looks worse than the sum of their parts. They seem slower than they should be most nights, they seem to get hemmed in their own end and fore checked to death, they seem passive and easy to play against.

I think a culture change is very much in order. At what point do Burke and Treliving recognize that this staff cannot prepare this team to win in big games? How many years of the team friendly Gaudreau/Monahan contracts do we waste? One more? Two more?

I say it's time to move on at the end of this season and find a veteran coach that can get the most out of what is actually a pretty talented group.
