So pretty much worst case/nightmare scenario

I am a Treliving fan, but if this is true, he needs to go also. You can't speak with one side of your about getting emotionally ready for a game and on the other support a stiff Kleenex. GGs record in big games speaks for itself across a multitude of organizations.
Dallas x2- horrible down the stretch, no playoffs.
Vancouver - horrible down the stretch, beat by the 3 seed which I believe would have been 8th in the conference were it not for the division system.
Calgary- backed into the playoffs before going 0-4
Calgary- 1-9 down the stretch.
The fact that we were 0-7 against Edmonton going into the last month of the season is not a coincidence. This is as close as the flames got to big games mid season.
As a personal exercise think about yourself playing for or reporting to different coaches. There are guys you would go through walls for: Babcock, JQ, Sutter, Hitchcock, Julien , Carlyle to name a few. These are guys that have a presence in a room and motivate a group. I would barely trust GG to be the video guy and would keep him far away from the team in game day.
Let's see what happens this week. I have not found Elliot to be a reliable source on the internal workings of the flames, but his prediction is a worst case scenario for this team.
