Well, thanks to Glen Gulutzan and Dave Cameron, the Flames are set to miss the playoffs. Thank you, guys. You are doing an excellent job...
I was ridiculed back in November/December when I suggested it might happen, considering how poor of a job they have been doing and unfortunately, it seems I was right. Poor puck luck, it's been only 20, 30, 40 games, Mike Smith is not carrying this team, advanced stats this, advanced stats that....I've heard all sorts of excuses. Well, here we are. And it boggles my mind that people still, after everything, defend this guy.
I will say, I am glad Treliving did not go after a goalie at the TDL. Now we know we can't count on Gillies and Rittich to be actual NHL goaltenders. It was a great opportunity for them to showcase themselves and make a case for a backup spot next year but they failed massively. Good luck with that now.
Brutal season. The ONLY bright side is Gulutzan will most likely get shown the door at the end of the year. So, there is that.
