I wonder why Gulutzan has survived through a couple of coaching regimes now. Continues to dodge the crosshairs.
It must be a petty Edmonton reason because we know he's not a particularly good coach. Must be to #### with Calgary.

Edit: I agree with the last poster that thread titles shouldn't necessarily have to be connected to something said by or about the Oilers but should be open to anything that captures the E=NG zeitgeist of the moment.
