I absolutely agree. And I think this is a really important factor.
People talked about time-outs, goalie changes, yelling at the refs, etc. It isn't about those things, those things are symptoms. What it's about is the coach standing up for his team, being a leader,
doing something.
Gulutzan and Cameron were so cerebral, so reserved.
Hockey is a passionate game. Part of the coach's job is to be a leader, define the personality of the team, show the players he has their back. And lead them.
I never felt that Gulutzan had the demeanor to be an NHL coach. Very happy to hear that Peters is scoring much higher in that regard.
