It's a pretty lame line of questioning to throw at the coach. He's got input on call-ups, sure, but that's not his job. And the curt answer it elicited was not unexpected.
And for all the Lucic, Lewis and Ritchie outrage, how many times have we heard this coach say in scrums that being successful in the NHL, with this team, is not just about points?
Phillips for me is a curiosity more than anything. Sure, call him up after the month he's had. But I don't see it happening based on previous comments about the player from training camp, or Sutter's most recent sound-bite.
