Doesn't make it a fact, obviously. But I was in full agreement with what Bieksa was saying, personally.
And it certainly jives with what we are watching every night.

I just think it's different players.
Tkachuk came up with that blind pass hard on the angle up the ice break out.
Can't see that being a Sutter strategy, he's still doing it now. But the player is gone and the new lines haven't found a way to each other yet.
If he's changed it's because he sees a sag in skill and feels they have to give up less.
