DAL 2012–13 48 22 22 4 48 5th in Pacific Missed playoffs
CGY 2016–17 82 45 33 4 94 4th in Pacific Lost in First Round (ANA)
Total 212 109 90 13 231

And with this year looking to be another .500 season and no playoffs, seems to be a trend, not just bad luck.

I like GG, and think he's a very good Xs and Os coach, but his in game management is awful, and has not seemed to improve much at all. He can't read players when they are going (or not), he rarely makes changes to his plan. For cripes sake, I heard a clip this past week on the Fan of Warrener calling out GG for overplaying his 4th line in the 3rd period when down (I was in Mexico so didnt see those losses)... we are 85%+ of the way through the season, and this guy STILL won't make adjustments.

Not to mention that things like putting your best Offensive D-man on your #1 PP unit takes 2/3s of the season, inability to put players on their off-wings on the PP, hell it hasn't been until recently that I've noticed GG is starting to double-shift Gaudreau...

Warrener on the Fan said it best... "at the end of the year, Glen can't say he rode his top guys, because he didn't"

I am curious to know what would happen if Dougie and Gio got more minutes. Guys like Doughty who often you see playing in the high high 20s or even 30 some nights. Could they handle that?
