To quote a character on a pretty bad TV show:

“There are only four rules you need to remember. Make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to get off the rail … Throw away the plan,”

This team's issue under Gulutzan is that very last part. The Flames didn't show up "unmotivated" last night... they got scored on by two deflected point shots, a poorly covered shift by our so-called number one centre, and an awfully placed rebound by our goaltender.

Fine, #### happens. But it'd be nice to read game context and throw away the plan instead of hoping for bounces to miraculously start going your way. Even the same results might be a lot more watchable with a shift in tempo or a second wave of offense from the backend, or throwing different lines, or trying a different goaltender just to spark the skaters.
