Outstanding article on TheAthletic by Pierre LeBrun. Details not only the motivation side but the tactical side too.

“He’s a very black and white coach,” Stoll said. “He wants you to play a certain way and that’s hard and that’s detailed. And it’s a matchup game with him. The way every coach prepared for a playoff series, that’s how he prepared for every regular-season game, every single preseason game.”

Lombardi fondly remembers the pre-playoff planning sessions with Sutter.
“Darryl doesn’t open up very much but when he got prepared for the playoffs and we would meet before every round in my garage and have a couple of beers, the way he would break down what we had to do to win, the matchups he wanted, those where our best times I think,” Lombardi said. “Before every series, we’d sit in my garage and have two or three beers and say OK, ‘This is going to be our issue with St. Louis, this guy has to outplay this guy.'”
