I would just love to see them try a proven winner with the disposition of a Darryl Sutter. That could include Torts or other similar coaches, but the teacher of X's and O's will never get this group over the hump. That has been painfully apparent for years now. Somehow Treliving either does not see that or actually thinks coaches like Ward and Gulutzan can get it done for this group. This group needs a coach that is the heart and soul of the team.

There is an interview somewhere where Gulutzan mentions he asked Darryl Sutter how he got the players to play for him. I don't know if I can find it now, but those X and O guys are not task masters, they don't know how to get the teams consistently playing at a high level. Need a proper coach to get better results from this group.
