Gulutzan was possibly the most divisive topic of last season so not surprised to see people continue to hammer home the conclusion of that debate. There's probably a little bit of "I told you so" in some of these comments but I think a bit of ribbing is warranted. I remember even in the last quarter of last season when the wheels totally fell off that some people were adamant Gulutzan wasn't a problem. It really was pretty amazing to see people try to mathematically explain why he was a good coach when the team was a complete mess.
Anyhow I'm just glad that not only is the team doing well, but the hockey is actually fun to watch again. The last 2 seasons almost killed my enjoyment of the sport.
