A couple of things, although this is starting to get far afield:

First, a number of posters were right about the fact that Guliutzan was not performing well as a coach, but that is different from being right about WHY.

Second, there is some truth to being "book smart" v. "street smart," and I do accept that someone can form viably true gut instincts about various situations. Is this one of them? Maybe. However, there comes a point in time in which "street smarts" require external validation. When one publicizes her or his opinion on a subject she or he is not absolved of the requirement to show the validity of the point regardless of the strength of conviction.

So, if this is your way of saying, "Trust me. I just know," then I am sorry, but no, I do not. I don't think it is untoward at all to expect those who harbour strong feelings to inspect them and to justify their convictions with useful evidence. I don't think I should have to apologize for not feeling as strongly as others when the evidence to support such feelings is fatuous.


I am honestly interested to know how strongly you are convinced about this.
Well, I am not trying to convince you of anything. I am and have been saying your stout defense against those who believe Sigalet should be canned is akin to your run with Gully. People can justify firing sigalet freely and without constantly having to defend their position just because you don't think there's any evidence. When theres obviously a path of breadcrumbs. Even pepsifree concedes in his overall statement that it is likely he is or at least should be on the hot seat. But when I or anyone who has been saying it, "It's not good enough"

And you're misreading it yet again by the bolded statement. I'm saying "I believe" . Not that "I know" So don't accept it, it's not what I've been saying.

I don't need to justify my conviction that I believe Sigalet should be fired. You need to justify why you're continually defensive of anything Flames and going after those that are critical of certain things.

Deal with the idea that I cannot defend my feeling to your heighty standards and leave it at that.

And for your last line. I am strongly convinced that Sigalets tenure has run it's course with little to no success overall. you can point to a myriad of external reasons as to why he has not had success, but the overall outcome of the Flames goaltending is not one he gets a pass on.
