Sunday against Ottawa ... odd game, territorial with no execution. They seemed fast.
If Sutter can keep them
a) on their A game more often and
b) improve their off game they'll be much better
Have never debated that Sutter isn't an upgrade, but Ward didn't coach them not to be fast. They just kept losing the program.

Seems to me like in every game they quit being fast it's because they got scored on despite a decent start - either they took a penalty and got scored on or the got scored on against the flow of play, but when that happens to this team, the air goes out of them.
