No, they are physically incapable of playing the system he implements. Sutter relies on smash mouth hockey where size and physical play is a requirement. Too many small players on this team.

2) yes, Sutter does adjust to the team - you are just flat out wrong here. The notion that Sutter has one style of play, and forces it on his team, is patently false.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, but you can actually go through the teams that Sutter has coached and see the bodies he's relied upon. I've already done the comparison to the LA Kings and we are short eight to ten players with the size and physicality he demands. This team is not physically capable of playing heavy hockey, the trademark of all Sutter teams.
