That data all checks out
I don’t think Sutter is straight up telling them not to pass cross crease
I do think Sutter is telling them to work the puck around the zone, get it back to the D, get shots on net and traffic in front
As mentioned above, shot assists support this
Cross ice passes and passes to the slot data supports what I saw all year
There is something to the idea that the coaches believe they need to ‘just get pucks on net’
Rush shots are high but rush scoring chances are mid-low
On the D side, they allow too many odd man rushes. Better at suppressing shots than at suppressing scoring chances
