I don't believe he's done anything great. But I don't blame him for everything that goes wrong, either. I see a lot of people desperate to blame Gulutzan because they refuse to accept that the players themselves, as a group, just haven't performed.
Two facts leap out from this team's numbers: They are above average at generating scoring chances, and one of the worst teams in the league at converting those chances into goals. That's on the players – and partly a matter of luck, as several of those players have been shooting far worse than their career percentages.
Though I suppose one could claim that a coach has the power to make professional hockey players worse at shooting the puck. One could also claim that the Apollo landings were faked. With a little effort, I'm sure one could work cattle mutilations in there, too.
