That said Sutter has proven me wrong many times.

They collectively need to play faster as a group with the top three lines looking to generate offense. They aren't even playing good defense so it's the worst of both worlds right now.

Last night wasn't coaching at all. Strange post game to go after coaching when you have a team over extend offensively all night and give up ten bell chances.
Literally nothing in that would come from a coach ... quite the opposite.
And the Flames aren't aiming to play slow or told to play slow. That was one of Sutter's biggest complaints when he took over the team ... pace of play.
Sutter will have a shelf life, hoping it's not now, but a game like that is 100% on the players, and not the coach, and certainly not Treliving like the dweeb who bumped this asserted.
