One thing about Sutter is that in general he always had the boys ready to play. I know last season that didn't seem to be the case (look how many 1st shots Markstrom let in... hard to fault him for that).
The man knew how to get the team ready for puck drop. I just look back at our previous coaches and that was hardly ever the case. Not looking forward to that aspect, although from the sounds of it it seems like he was thrown under the bus by a few players but you cant question that they respected him (as noted by how hard they pushed all season). Turning an assistant into a head coach or having a rookie AHL coach with this veteran locker room. I just dont know.
