makes sense. why would we play the guy that got 115 points last year when we can play lucic

Sutter gets a fucked up, hairy, spotted Boner when he thinks about playing the 4th line in crunch time over any of the first three lines

Sutter must be a liberal. Equal time for everyone.

What’s he done to earn more?

I think the biggest issue is that Tkachuk and Johnny were grandfathered into sutters system. So they had way more leeway to be creative and do their thing since they’d been doing it before he got there. and it was what kept the flames competitive to have at least one line not just checking and getting shitty pucks on net. A luxury that huby does not have.

Meanwhile, Lucic gets played half the game

Interesting, his shooting% doesn’t actually seem to have taken much of a hit. He needs to start shooting more.

Lucic has 16:30 if anyone is wondering
metisburns
because sutter doesn’t let him play the minutes he gets paid to.coach is terrible at utilizing his start player’s correctly.but he plays Lucic who is slow and old regular minutes.

It’s not weird, it’s incredibly stupid and tantamount to self sabotage.
Sutter’s either so far down the rabbit hole he actually think this wholly idiotic “strategy” will payoff or he’s intentionally and with malicious aforethought doing it to make a point to both Huberdeau and Treliving while tanking the season.
Either ways the organization, the players, & the fans suffer, while Sutter feeds his overgrown ego.

Sutter rolls 4 lines. For some reason this season he doesn’t shorten his bench and keeps playing Lucic
BillMcCrearysStache
Ive always liked Sutter but I think the game is starting to pass him by

Good old Darryl, blindly rotating 4 lines.
Last week vs Ottawa there was a situation where Ottawa had back to back icings…4thbline was out for both offensive zone face offs.
Oy.

I am very worried about Huberdeau and Kadri will be an albatross when we clearly need to start a rebuild
iggyisgoat
That’s Sutter hockey
Nice_one_
He could maybe try being productive and he can play more. He shouldn’t be stuck with Kadri though. I’d like to see him with Duehr and Pelletier. Duehr is a centre right?

Huberdeau is 5th among forwards in ice time. Lindholm, Backlund, Kadri, and Mangiapane (by 2 secs) are ahead. This doesn’t really seem that egregious to me, especially when most of those ahead also play on the PK, which is part of the higher ice time. I think it’s also fair to say that Lindholm and Backs especially have deservedly played more (apart from the PK).

He’s not 35ish enough is why

He doesn’t deserve any more ice time. He’s been terrible
