It's a big part of the game. Gulutzan's biggest supporters on this site argue that he has implemented a system that allows Flames to get more high quality chances than the opposition, andd that the "win one for the Gipper" motivational speeches are for movies.
But Timbit's detailed post shows theer is a lot that can be done to mentally prepare individuals for performance. It's not all on Gulutzan, but let's face it, his title is "Head" Coach.
I sometimes wonder if the Flames are a very progressive organization. Certainly their in game product (outside of hockey) doesn't smell of an organization that is cutting edge in terms of entertaining its fans.
