Either way the excuses for why these teams all failed to achieve playoff success is not the point, but rather that the type of coach hasn't mattered in Calgary for a long, long time. Fans who aren't in the room and have no idea what the locker room dynamics are like calling for a hard ass coach is laughable because we have zero idea whata really going on. When people draw parallels to how their shop foreman runs a family owned business compared to how Glen gulutzan manages the flames it just makes me shake my head

Isn't that Gulutzan's Flames in a nutshell over two seasons? Close but not good enough? Lots of shots but no luck. Didn't get the bounces. Officiating didn't go their way. Special teams let them down. Lack of bottom six depth. We have heard excuse after excuse over the past few seasons and at the end of the day you are correct. Close only counts in horseshoes.
