New coach or not, you can’t fix rich players with bad attitudes.

I’m hoping this isn’t the case in Calgary. I think GG and his coaches have to go but I worry that plan B could have a similar outcome next year.
Indeed. I think this example stresses the importance of going with someone that brings a proven track record when trying to move your young team up the ladder.
