I also think that when and how players are being deployed matters - things like zone starts, being out after a goal, after an icing, etc.
I am willing to bet that there isn't a team that puts out their 4th line, for offensive faceoffs after an icing, more than the Flames. I am not a Sutter hater, and I am not here to bash his decisions, as I greatly respect him as a coach. But for me, that is one of the most baffling things he does.
