Say Sutter isn't a players coach all you want but imo that is some of the best example of positive effect a coach can have on players that is visible to the fans. He can shield them from ####ty media people who like to tear down any built up confidence possible for a story.

Sutter will distract the media as much as he needs to in order to protect his players. We saw that in '04. Great bench boss.
