Calgary Flames MEGA THREAD 2016-2017 Edition
The NHL offseason is finally here. First order of business for the Flames is the hiring of a new coach in Glen Gulutzan.
I trust Treliving to be a diligent person and goes through every decision with a fine tooth comb and expect this to be a good marriage for the team. Keeping in mind that Hartley was never Treliving's hire and likely would've been fired last year had he not made the playoffs and won the Jack Adams. Found lightning in a bottle and couldn't sustain it.
Thoughts on the new coach? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Seems like a strange selection. Doesn't exactly have much NHL experience and what he has isn't anything to be terribly proud of.
Good luck Flames.

I'm pretty indifferent on the choice at the moment, but I always favoured the idea of going with a relatively "fresh" face in giving an assistant coach a shot rather than recycling the same old aging coaches over and over again.
That said, I'm glad we didn't go with Carlyle or Creepy Pedo Cameron and I don't think Boudreau would have been a right fit for the team.
Anyone watch the presser? Part of Gulutzan's job interview included doing the Grouse Grind with Conroy. That might explain why Carlyle and Boudreau didn't get the job :rofl:
