Lydman played but I feel like he felt pressured by Sutter he didn’t seem happy with him.

Chris Simon was injured in game three vs the Canucks, missed the rest of that series and the entire 2nd round against Detroit. He rode the left side of Iginla's line occasionally in the final two rounds and was an important player that run.
Don't recall ever reading about Lydman being unhappy or pressure from the coaching staff. The latter wouldn't surprise me however.
Dave Lowry returning late in the Detroit series was important, he hadn't played since January and despite not scoring a single point in the post seasons he had a positive impact on the ice.
