Players are soldiers, they go out and and just do. Coaches are generals and commanders, they plan, strategize and make adjustments.

There are no adjustments or not the right adjustments being made under this coaching staff.

I get it, GG is a nice guy, the media loves him cause he's always accommodating, but enough with this character assassination of the Flames players. If you watch this team over the past two years, its' evident and clear where the problems are.

Also, in 2004, the "leader" of that team was NOT Iginla, Kipper or Regher. The true leader who steeled the troops was Darryl Sutter. The captains and assistant captains and veteran provide a certain level of leadership, but the coaching staff has to provide a higher and more important level. This is how it is in EVERY organization, sports or not.

Doesn’t seem like they know how to motivate either. GG put on a show for the cameras a couple times but I’ve yet to see him motivating and barking orders on the bench. Just that blank stare
