Living in UK where football team coaches are fired far more regularly than in the NHL I must admit I have been surprised that GG has lasted as long as he has. It is such a key position in an organisation that once it becomes obvious that a coach s not working then they should be removed ASP. In the end winning and keeping bums on seats is very important, having a coach that not only cannot get enough wins but also plays a style of hockey that is verging on the unwatchable then he should have been fired before Xmas. As an owner I would be asking the GM why he did not fire GG long ago as without a doubt this club will be struggling financially in the very near future. If the GM even hints he may keep GG you fire them both instantly. Bottom line you need the bums on the seats to pay the bills.
Ps It is so short sighted to not pay up for a top quality coach and you would have thought by now the flames would have learnt that lesson, but apparently not!
