There has been a lot of graphs, spreadsheets, and charts that show the Flames are analytically one of the better teams in the league under Gulutzan. That begs the age old question of the eye test. Personally I rarely see the Flames dominate a game from start to finish. Rarely does it seem like we just punish other teams by owning the puck all game.
This has been the worst on ice product since Brent Sutter dragged a bottom 5 roster on paper to 90pts 3 years in a row. Gulutzan has turned a top 10 team on paper into a bottom third group.
The charts don’t show the lack of identity, or how fragile this group is.
