Sure, but Terry Murray had that team running at 100 point seasons for the two previous years. Sutter also had a better lineup than Murray and much better than what the Flames are icing right now. Yes he got 2 cups, but the first one was the team catching absolute fire at the right time and the second was a Kings team that was loaded with talent.
I like Sutter but I think he has this mysticism around him.
