I don't think it's sarcastic, I think the correct term is moreso gas lighting.

Sutter thinks that if a one way player plays 30 minutes / game. and the Oilers don't try to win as a team this series is already over. So he goes out and says, Conner your so great, please Conner show us how great you are, we'd like to bask in your greatness, in a very authentic way. Not because he wants to diminish his skill, but because he wants Conner to turn this into a Conner showcase.
