Yeah, I think he gets until the ASG at least.I’m not sure why anyone would think Gulutzan is going anywhere.

Expectation =/= hope
Doubt anybody really expects him to fired anytime soon. But maybe by the end of the season.
Eh, don't see a whole lot of posters saying he's about to be fired any moment now. But a lot of people are hoping he's fired eventually. Sooner would be better though.That doesn't align with what I am seeing in a number of posts on our board.

A lot of people desperately want to trade Brodie and Bennett too but there's nothing to suggest Treliving is that rash.
Edit: Okay there's one. But I'm pretty sure they want to trade the whole multiple times over. Wouldn't say it means a whole lot.
Rationally, people should realize what is Treliving is. He has a history that above all indicates he isn't going to panic.
The reason I say ASG, is because I am 100% sure the replacement will be Cameron should they fire Gully.He either gets fired in the immediate future or at the end of the season.
By the ASG rolls around, there's no time to learn a new system. Any firings around then would mean that we're too far out of a playoff spot for it to matter. Treliving is more proactive than that
Apparently blaming Gulutzan is what we do for all of the players who fail to play properly. Because clearly he's the one who told both D to pinch deep in the Oilers zone, leaving a lone Monahan to vaguely cover the point. He's the one telling Brodie to make soft passes up the boards that get picked off. And he's obviously the one telling Smith to have a wide open five hole when the puck is in the low slot.Ah so blaming Gulutzan is the thing we are going to do for any young players that don't quite meet expectations.
And that would be just as much of a shit showThe reason I say ASG, is because I am 100% sure the replacement will be Cameron should they fire Gully.
We aren’t playing Gulutzans system. This is on the players.
Gulutzans system is good. His player usage is questionable. But he has a good system.
His system is ultra defensive. We have been playing run n gun hockey of late.

His systems didn't work pretty well last season. We finished 8th in the conference and were swept out in 4 games very easily last year. That is at best ok and far from good.
Watching certainly tells a different story. And so does looking at the fact we are 23rd in goals against average.
I’m sorry, but if this “ultra defensive” systems leads to those results, they probably shouldn’t be described as good.
The defensive zone is a tire fire, some of its player performance, and some of it is clearly systems.
This is just a flawed premise which invalidates the entire post. Once the team started playing his system last year, they had either the best or second-best record in the league from that point on, IIRC. Even if I don't remember correctly, it was an amazing record including a 10-game win streak where the team was dominant and looked like they were going to win every time they hit the ice.
Secondly, they weren't swept very easily at all. Many third party pundits agreed that the Flames played better hockey than the Ducks during the series. The reason it ended up looking so easy for them was because the type of chances they had to generate in order to score (gain the zone with possession and throw it on net from anywhere) were far easier than the type of chances we had to generate in order to score (actually dangerous chances). Any team would be hard pressed to win under those circumstances.
Again. We aren’t playing his system. We are basically just doing whatever the heck we want. There is no team play right now. We aren’t playing his system, and that’s why we are a disaster defensively.
