Was same with Ruzicka. 20 points in his first 28 games played - demote him to the 4th line and watch his offence dissapear.
Sutter's offensive lineup decisions are just baffling

Baffling isn’t the right word. It’s “wrong”.
Who here watched this game and thought the effort was “good”?
Sutter said it was good. I was surprised at that, because it was a bad effort. Again. And that’s not acceptable. Or, shouldn’t be anyway. I don’t know how you look at a game where nobody skates to the middle of the ice, no big hits are thrown, no intense skirmishes and nothing ####ing happens and say it was a good effort. No, that’s a bad effort. Going to the middle of the ice is hard. It takes effort. That’s why they lose. It’s why they make goalies look like all stars.
Crashing the net is a thing that has worked in hockey strategy since hockey was invented. Why the Flames don’t do it especially with this roster is mystifying.
