Not only that Sutter has always preached goals against, and it went from winning the Jennings to climbing in your own division. Well we have the 2nd best goals against in the division and sit outside of the playoffs.
So yes the goaltending has not be great, but other teams are getting by. Is that they are adapting to the changing times when the league is full of talent and scoring is going up and Sutter is trying to stay true to his methods that worked in 2012 and 2014?
We are 3rd last in goals for in the division.
The league looks to be shifting to a more goal driven league.

This is interesting. To further the point, look at goal differential. The west playoff and wildcard teams all have at least a +15.
Vegas and Edmonton are +35 and +40.
Scoring makes up for a lot of deficiencies.
Flames have a +5.
