It was a damned good game by the whole team right up until the net pull. I guess that's why this loss feels worse.

Sutter probably expected his team to man up and lock it down. They didn't.
It's interesting -- they've dominated possession for the past two games; were able to overcome the 2-0 deficit against Buffalo but unable to overcome the late 2 goals against Ottawa.
It suggests the team is playing better but is still missing something to get it over the hump right now.
