Let's not forget that he has also said to the media and fans on many many occasions that we don't have star players or the horsepower to score goals. This has been his message since the start of the season so we have to wire a bunch of shots on net because we don't have any stars that create offence.
So when people talk about negativity and confidence the coach should take full blame because he's set that tone already.
Not only does his style not fit this team it seems like he's not creating the relationships with the players. Just look at Huberdeau comments today moving back to left wing. Drew Doughty said he wasn't a person you could go in and talk too either. So when you create those barriers around you how are you goimg to know how your players feel.
Sutter creates a toxic work environment. Not naming a captain and trying to be the face of the team himself and making yourself unapproachable nets results like what we are seeing.
