It's good to see some emotion from him but I'm not falling for the "See, it's the players and not him" excuse supporters are trying to make. No question that the players need to step up and work harder but that doesn't take him off the hook.

Some of you wont be happy with GG no matter what...its mostly his fault? so he should yell at himself?
This has likely happened before behind closed doors but better late than never...we blew through how many coaches in the past because of the country club atmosphere.
You don’t think guys like Sutter, Hartley, Keenan threw constant F bombs in practice? If there is a country club atmosphere this organization has proved that coaches aren’t the fix.
Next on the playbook is Treliving or Burke speaking directly to the team.
It’s not a criticism of GG, who I kind of like, but a 30 second tantrum means nothing in the scheme of things.
Why are we over-analyzing this temper tantrum?
Players won a game/played well, followed up with a lazy practice, coach loses it because of their complacency and lazy practice. Done.

Surprised some people aren't pulling a muscle as they reach to find a way to criticize GG about this.
The only honest criticism is if you think coaches should never lose their cool like that. I suppose some people would have that view. However, lots of the GG haters have complained about him showing no emotion, so that would be totally invalid coming from them.

One of my biggest criticisms of Gulutzan is he doesn’t have emotion and that reflects on the team as they seem to lack emotion. What he did today is something that I am very happy with and I am very much in the fire Glen club.
If the team responds to this the way I hope then this could be a huge turning point in the season.

I don't think this comment is really necessary. There's been plenty of posts reading any number of things based on the video, mostly either that it's good that he did it or that he may be doing it because he's lost the room or fears for his job.
Either way, it's just people speculating and posting very respectfully and then you're kind of coming in here with a really inflammatory shot at a segment of the board which can only make things worse on a site that's been way too divided and ornery.
A little disappointing to see that from a mod as you would typically be the one condemning a post like yours for "not adding anything to the discussion".

You really seem to be developing a disdain for certain fans of the team. Screaming for the coaches head is as old as sports itself. I only know of one way to fix that and it is a temporary fix at that.
This is not the first time he has ripped into the team during practice. I remember reading that he has done this a few times, including last season.
At any rate, I think people are looking way too deeply and trying to gleam some insight out of his rant. Flames weren't practicing hard enough, Gulutzan ripped into them.
Yeah, he called out some vets, but who exactly? Everyone assumes Brouwer, but if Gulutzan really felt that Brouwer wasn't having good games for a while now, he would really have been rotating in and out of the lineup, and probably not given so much PP time.
I just think he expects the vets to set the pace out there in practice, and when they were lazy, just dug into them. Whomever they were. Hopefully they responded and finished practice hard, and more importantly respond tomorrow.
I don't see it as "Gulutzan is on a short leash and trying to hang on". I also don't see it as "Finally Gulutzan showing some emotion". I am sure he just did that because of how practice was going, and this apparently isn't the first time.
