What I do hope is that Brian Burke isn’t interfering with what Treliving is trying to get done. Whoever hired Gulutzan should be removed.

There was nothing wrong about hiring GG. Perhaps we should have gone for an experienced coach, but hindsight and all.... There is, however, something wrong about not canning this guy. It's been (almost) two years since we hired this guy and this team hasn't progressed at all. We're still a bubble team with the same issues we had last year. He is a mediocre coach producing mediocre results.
He is stubborn - how long did it take to put Hamilton on the first PP? Bennett with some skilled players? Dave Cameron is still employed.
He is arrogant. He blames the goaltending, the refs, the players but never himself and his decisions.
Yeah, we're not out and perhaps we'll make the playoffs, but to be in this position (fighting for our playoff life) at this point in the season is nothing more than a
massive failure. Especially since we have no picks until the 3rd, I believe. Even if we do make it in, Gultuzan is going to be manhandled by the opposition coaches.
Last year, the problems were with goalies. If we only had a legit #1. Well, this year we do. We also have a guy who is top 5 in scoring. Great progression from Tkachuk as well. And still, the results are the same.
