I want to see what he can get out of these guys if we do make it in.

Sutter has now had what, 35-40 games and training camp with the majority of this group? How long is it supposed to take him to get this team to turn a corner? Good effort isn't enough in this league. It's a start, but the wheels are going to be completely off the track in a week or two if this group can't muster at least 3 goals a game more often than not.
It was pretty obvious this was going to be a problem when the genius GM didn't get something done to shake up the core and bring in more offensive weaponry. Now this team's margin is to score 2 goals and try to hang on for dear life each and every night? It's not happening often with guys like Monahan consistently taking the easy track in big moments and a hapless PP with no true elite finisher.
