A guy like Sutter needs to realize that he is bringing nothing "new" to the table, and almost all coaches and players have studied his work/plays, as it is a winning formula.... The problem is with his success brings failure since everyone starts gunning for your game plan and a way to shut down your offence and get passed your defense.
He does not seem to evolve even within the same game, I have watched the flames get shut down on the exact same play OVER AND OVER not only in the same period but in the same game, meanwhile the other team starts to make changes to shut down the flames offense. Not hard to see when they normally start off great in a game and by mid second period the opposition shuts down their advance and starts picking away at their defense.
