Gulutzan: Oilers' season sweep of Flames is 'embarrassing'
The Battle of Alberta wasn't much of a fight this season.
With star pieces in place on both sides and growing optimism for a renewed rivalry between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames, it was Edmonton that did all the damage, winning their fourth of four meetings Saturday night - the first ever season sweep over their divisional foes.
Suffice to say, Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan was none too thrilled about dropping another crucial game to a team they're chasing in the standings - on home ice, no less.
"I think we need to relook at everything," Gulutzan said. "How we play without a lead is probably, maybe, the top thing on the list."
"It's embarrassing," he added.
Gulutzan isn't wrong, the Oilers outscored the Flames 21-11 this season.
