This honestly seems like a mind game to me. Constantly tell players they're not talented so they play to his system. It doesn't shock me at all to see players who are naturally gifted offensively struggle so much right now. His messaging is NOT doing this team any favors at the moment, and quite frankly, it's starting to piss me off. I can only imagine how the players feel about it. They don't seem to be having too much fun these days.

Sutter has implied that the team doesn't have the skilled players to play a skill game ever since he arrived, even when Johnny and Chucky were on the team. I'd agree that it's done to get the team playing a specific way.
