How Long is Glen Gulutzan’s Leash with the Calgary Flames?
Glen Gulutzan was supposed to be the coach who elevated the Calgary Flames from a hard working fast team that lost more games than it won, into a legitimate contender in the Western Conference. He was supposed to be the next step in the Flames’ rebuild to get this team to the next level.
After fourteen games in 2016-17, the Flames sit at a disappointing 5-8-1 record, while only managing to score 7 goals in the last five games to 19 against. The team seems to be playing a style that doesn’t suit them, and the games are a lot less entertaining with the added structure.
