- Sutter panicking after a loss to the Oilers, where we were averaging 4 goals a game in the first 6, with a 5-2 start was a gross overreaction. Especially considering we hadn't seen the best of Huberdeau or Lindholm. He preaches patience and process and does that after 6, then goes back to it after a few games, then changes it up again when Hubs comes back from injury. Makes no sense, this guy scored 115 points with Bennett and Duclair as his linemates, he can lead and elevate others.

- Sutter's ice time distribution has been terrible, I haven't checked after the last few games but when stars struggle you give them ice to try and work their way out of it, not put Lewis out more.

- When the boys get back, somebody take Huberdeau out and get him lit up, I mean this might have occurred already with the team Halloween party, but I mean just a few of the guys, loosen him up, he seems so tight all the time on the ice and in interviews

Probably because everyone has been riding him for the last month.

I think the bender idea would be a good one and give him a break from the media for a while.
