It sounds to me like you're kind of selling Sutter short tactically. He's much more than a taskmaster who gets the team to work hard. He's very good at creating a solid defensive system and excellent at countering what the other team is trying to do offensively. That's IMO the main reason why his teams are so often a nightmare to beat when they get a lead. He likes to play his tactical side down, but when you look at his teams play, there's a lot more than just hard work going on there.
He's also generally good at reacting to what happens within a game, although I think that goes for all experienced coaches.
