One of my big complaints with Gulutzan is his how he utilizes utilizes his personnel. Today is a perfect example. We scored 18 seconds into the game and had the avalanche completely on their heels. Instead of throwing the Backlund line right back out there – why not it was an 18 second shift? Or putting out the Gaudreau Monahan Bennett line he goes with the Stajan line instead. They got hemmed in their own end for about 40 seconds and eliminated all the momentum they built up scoring that fast goal.
