I don't agree with that at all. I think having him focus so much on the defensive side of things, and 'playing the right way' is what got him ff his game. Then other things kept adding to it, like poor play from his line-mates, poor line selection, playing the off wing, Sutter's comments, and it all grew into a mountain on him before he could dig his way out.
But much f the problem, from the start, generated from Sutter's actions and deployment, IMO.
