Now Sutter lays out the game plan. We see it. It’s high volume of low probability shots, going for garbage goals.

He knows you can grind out a win, so if you can check to maximize possession, then play high volume shots and grind out the offence from there, it’s the holy grail, right? Ugh

He doesn’t get to just sit back and blame the players

Yes, they do have skill. They choose not to recognize and maximize it.

And I am fully aware I’m saying it after a high offensive output game. They happen. Statistical outliers happen, and the message to the players that they are unskilled is wrong
The statement itself doesn't make sense. We have no top skill players so we have to shoot a bunch, but our top players need to score a big goal. So do we or don't we have a top players?

I think 2 big factors is rolling 4 lines regardless of time and score and pulling the goalie with a minute or less left.

Most teams start pulling goalies much earlier, you are not giving the team enough time.
