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.

I agree Gulutzan sucks. He is Calgary’s version of Dallas Eakins. A good coach can make garbage into gold (i.e. Gallant in Vegas) and a bad coach can make gold into garbage. Treliving hired a garbageman, hopefully his next coaching choice is a lot better otherwise he will be out of a job as well.
