During the second intermission last night, Sutter did a radio interview with the Manitoba guys. I just happened to click over during the break. (DS, I still have my NeuLion game pass if you can clip it out and post it...they never did give me a refund!)

Sutter absolutely dissed the AHL....his contempt was almost unbelievable!

Notes I took....
______________

Sutter traveled with Lundmark.

On Lundmark not being there to play on Friday...."We don't score many goals, so when you take away Lundmark, it's an impact."

Really young and need really good goaltending to win games. Keetley had a good start...Irving's just 20. They're going to have some ups and downs.

Talking about VanderGulik's tenacious work ethic....provides leadership, more of a checking type guy.

On Peters' trip up...a good leader and they needed a 4th line centerman.

Abbotsford--thinking about that? Calgary has three options.

First option to stay where they are, second to find another place, third to move out of the AHL completely. They'd like to stay where they are, but big costs associated with having a US team with exchange rate for the dollar....so an AHL team in Canada wouldn't be all bad.

Sutter's not sold on the AHL....not all development like it's supposed to be, often a bunch of old guys on some teams playing against youngsters.

Boyd--a kid who's been very good. A good player.

_______________

I'm not sure whether he was totally dissing the whole league or whether maybe it was an intentional shot at Manitoba....they've got a few of those old guys/NHLers playing and are leading the league. And that's why he did it on their broadcast...a slap in their face.

'Cause they kinda tried to change the subject, and Sutter wouldn't let it go....according to the folks here from Calgary, he's too media-saavy to not have done that on purpose....

I don't know, but indifferent is almost an understatement. This team has won 4 of 14 games at home, scoring something like 33 goals. On the road, they've scored 46 in 16 games. Two goals per game usually isn't going to win....and it's dang hard to sell a team with that kind of record. QCSV could be miracle workers and would still have problems selling this team to the public anywhere!
