Or players who are distracted when everything around them isn't controlled.
For me its the lack of adjustments and experimentation by GG that bothers me. PP not working, leave it the same is probably the biggest offense. But also in mid and late game we don't seem to be able to change momentum. Now momentum isn't really a thing but what I mean is that he isn't able to identify why the team is struggling or what the other team is doing that allows them to gain an advantage and make an adjustment to how the flames play.
The game plan game to game appears static and the play within the game seems static. It seems like a dogmatic belief in his system. Now my judgement could be being clouded by the results but it really seems like the flames have one way to play hockey no matter the opponent.
