I find it hilarious that people listen to Sutter’s criticisms of previous coaches and now all of a sudden they have an air of correctness about them.

So many (and I mean many…) posters on this very website levied the same criticisms or complaints about the previous coaches over those various times. And every time on this site it was met with the usual rejection and appeal to authority arguments constantly made by long term resident posters. How many times did Jiri or timbit, specifically and for example but also Bingo and others come to the coaches defence time and time again?

And now here you have Sutter trot out the exact same sentiments and it’s met with acceptance.

This is the problem with the appeals to authority. The majority on this board have actually a pretty good read on things and usually issues get debated into the coles’ notes problem that needs fixing. But just because Sutter says it it’s not valid? Eyeroll. And yeah, you (and by you I mean a broad group of posters that supported the “it’s not the coaches it’s the players” rhetoric) all deserve to be called out, mainly because of how dismissive you are to people generally speaking.

Obviously. Obviously coaching was a huge issue previously. Lucic himself said it last night too essentially.
