The breakout is the “system” that people were complaining about. I think he’s gotten them to do the same one faster and with better execution.
The only thing he’s changed systemically is using a dump in. And I’m betting he just told them “quit skating into the pressure - dump it in”, not as a part of some Xs and Os session.
But if you think “higher intensity” and “better execution” are changes to the system, I guess he changed the system.
Frankly, if you think a “systems” change is all that it takes to get the Flames playing better, then they didn’t need Sutter at all, just any guy that uses the same “system”.
