He doesn’t believe the record is comforting, but he does believe they’ll come out of it faster this season than last because it isn’t about learning the basics, it’s about re-committing to the application.
Honestly it’s a little embarrassing seeing people take GG over the goals and revert back to the stupid “he’s looking down!” stuff. We got over it last season when we saw the system working and it was great hockey to watch. Now, it seems like some posters are as lazy as the Flames, we know the that the system works, we’ve seen it, but now we just have to actually trust in it.
Watching fans constantly resort to blaming the coach when there is clear evidence that his plan makes this team successfully is frustrating, but the team will turn it around and threads like this will be full of crows to eat once again.

I blame GG for the entertainment value of his system. Even when we we win, he stifles the creative players creativity. Dumping the puck on Johnny's side is a waste and rarely results in getting any possession.
Why have we not see Smith try a stretch pass to Johnny like we all anticipated... Not part of GG's system. Except for Smith there has not been much to get fans out of their seats.... Win or lose. We need some rookies to bring the fire and hope it carries to the vets. Janko is a no brainer but Mangi would bring grit and electricity.
