I don’t think this is a skilled team. If they were we would see them take over games offensively but they haven’t done so on any consistent basis since January of 2019. They have some individual talents like Gaudreau, but this isn’t a lineup that can outscore other teams at will the way the top end guys in Edmonton and Toronto can. Sutter knows it, and quite frankly that’s why he was brought in.
I’m not prepared to throw in the towel after one loss, but I do think it will be interesting how Sutter and the team responds.

They finished 6th in the conference but went on a run in the Playoffs thanks to stellar goaltending and clutch goals. Unfortunately they didn’t get either last night.
