The Calgary Flames season so far has been a bit of a roller coaster. So of course, we’re bound to see some roller coaster of emotions in the fans. Especially when it comes to the coaching staff.

The Calgary Flames 2016-2017 season has been quite the whirlwind so far. After starting the season horribly, Flames fans were calling for head coach Glen Gulutzan‘s head. Even after just the first week. And after the first sixteen games when the Flames went 5-10-1, everybody wanted him gone immediately. It’s not often that you see a mid-season coaching change, but many fans were hoping we would see it this year.

But then, the Flames got good. Like, really good. And ended up being first in the Pacific division for a day. And then fans were thinking, “Alright well, maybe he can stay for now…”

There have been many different thoughts about Gulutzan. So we broke it down into four different stages of emotions about Gulutzan amongst Flames fans.
