This team has no shortage of leaders. Guys like Giordano, Bennett, Tkachuk, Backlund and yes, Gaudreau, are guys that anyone on any team would go to war for. I've always found it strange that Monahan and Brouwer wear letters considering I doubt Monahan and Brouwer would go to war for Monahan and Brouwer, but I digress.
I don't need Gulutzan to be a rah rah coach. I need him to impact games and make adjustments. Joel Quennville is one of my favorite coaches and while I don't think he's the best coach in the world, he is a guy who impacts games, even right now while the Blackhawks have fallen behind the Flames due to a lack of talent. Us Fans are pretty sensitive to momentum in games, and you can't fake that. The Flames can come out of a game like last night's Islanders affair having dominated on paper yet never having the momentum in their favour. That's what frustrates people about the coach.
