One of the things I've been guilty of is associating Sutter as a low scoring, blue collar, dump and chase coach but I'm actually pleasantly surprised how he is implementing his system.
I think he's just trying to simplify the mindset. For example, the dump and chase is a product of "simplifying" when you don't have space to carry the puck in otherwise, guys are still bringing the puck over the blue line to make plays.
The players are making quick decisions and committing to them which is allowing easier reads for their line mates.
It's not hard to feel good about this team when you win games in convincing fashion and lose games that you could have or should have won.
I like my crow cooked medium please.
