More or less. The Find-A-Way Flames were a combination of luck and a lag on oppo pro-scouts countering his system (which I'll loosely describe as "activate the D/stretch pass/block shot"). Once their shooting % went back to earth and other NHL teams got wise to him he didn't adjust and the team went from fun to agonizingly frustrating.
I don't know what Gulutzan would have done with the Forward Core we have now but I'm fairly certain he'd screw up the D because of his obsession with R/L balance (and now lack of Dougie) and I'm pretty sure we'd still be seeing Cameron's impotent powerplay.
