I think GG employs a very good system which he basically ripped of from Mike Babcock but he is an absolute moron when it comes to lines and man management. Like beyond incompetent! Chris Stewart is garbage, he shouldn't even be on the 4th line let alone the 1st. Get this goof of a coach out of here before he totally drives Bennett out of town only to explode somewhere else.

This is not even close to the Savard/Gilbert situation. Savard was benched for not playing defence yet the Flames were giving up 5 goals a game when he was in the pressbox. He was one of the ONLY Flames besides Iginla to produce offensively on a team desperate for goals.
Bennett should have been benched/scratched many times over for his play and his idiotic penalties earlier in the season. But nope Gulutzan didn't do a damn thing to him. He has actually given him a longer leash than most coaches.
