Playing the system they were playing but passive is the issue.
If they play that exact same system but with more pace and more aggressive then it might work.
The issue was playing slow and playing passive.
My gut is the system changes a bit too...I don't recall those Kings or Flames teams collapsing as much under Sutter.
