What impressed me was Sutter all over the guys after the MTL goal. Not allowing them to sulk and revert to timid shrews. That's the difference right there between a great coach and a just okay coach. That's it, that's all. That is all a coach needs to do. Pull their heads out their arses moment to moment.
Honestly, the next test now is to keep these players doing this for 29+ more games. They need to keep this going. Afterall, that's THE problem.

Thank god that TV timeout happened there. After the second shift after the goal against, the Flames looked like they were ready to collapse. I was curious if he would actually call a timeout. Because they needed to settle down. Sutter got through after that and they returned to the usually play.
Great game. Aggressive play, supporting each other and being accountable. Do it again please.
