He's right though. You have to take the good with the bad with Darryl Sutter and while the good vastly outweighs the bad, his stubbornness is his achilleas' heel. His coaching in the playoffs was no better than Markstrom's play. I think he was outcoached even in the first round by Bowness who was a goal away from winning the series despite a considerably worse team. Woodcroft totally schooled him.
