I have been a "stay the course" guy for a while now, but I too am growing tired of the underperforming team. It is frustrating knowing the team can be so much better.
On the other hand, I am trying to keep some perspective. There are very few teams that are running away with their divisions. Flames are one point out of 3rd in the Pacific and a wildcard. They are jammed in a tight group with some very good (but also inconsistent) teams like Anaheim, Minnesota, San Jose, Chicago. Calgary still controls their destiny.
Can they get it together? I still think they can and I look forward to the back half of the season.
If they fail it will be a very tough pill to swallow, but for now I am keeping the faith, even in the face of the reality that there is a lot of underperformance and some obvious coaching issues.
As to the OP, if Sutter is available then I think pretty hard about it; otherwise, give GG the season.
