If you don’t think it’s coaching, let me ask you how many times you felt as a fan cheated of a Darryl Sutter or Brian Sutter coached team? How many players only meetings has a Darryl Sutter coached team had?

It’s like we just can’t have that perfect combination of good coach and good team.

It’s either crap roster with good coach that squeezes blood from a stone, or

We get talented roster with weak coaches.

This team has a talented core but they are mental midgets, weak minded. They need a leader and this isn't about the captaincy. The coach has to be your leader. You can’t empower the players, this isn’t some tech company.

The infuriating thing about the Ward extension is that Treliving himself said that Gulutzan was too nice and didn’t command the respect of the players which is why he hired a bit of a hard ass in Peters. So why would you go back to a soft players coach again? He makes the same mistake over and over again. He finally smartened up by going all in on an elite goalie after years of getting cold feet. He gets a second chance on a coach and he goes back to his original mistake.

About Tkachuk, man he honestly looks like Tim Hunter out there.
