I wasn't knocking Sutter, I love that man and would be fine with him returning. And absolutely agree on the shelf life theory. Just pointing out to some that defend Gulutzan that coaching can have a major impact on player performance and overall stats. I hate the way the Flames play right now, it is stifling for them, opponents and fans. I'm not convinced the roster is as bad as some make it out to seem. It's not great by any means but the guys are out there second guessing everything they do, that's no way to play.
