Everything about this franchise and its 30-year reign of suck has to be critically evaluated, including the players who are emblematic of its “ok, but not great” culture.
There was a break during the Darryl Sutter era when he said outright that "Good is not good enough". His mentality seemed to work its way down throughout the team.

The country-club atmosphere returned pretty quickly after Sutter left. I am not saying Sutter wasn't without his faults, but he certainly had some strengths that I think are now missing at the top.
