If the coach thinks he played well he will get to play Monday...the coach isn't gonna waive pom poms in the media just because they are fishing for a story

Oh come on.
Asking what number he is? Saying hes only 21 and long way to go. Is not a normal response after a players first game.
All you have to say is "Thought he was okay for his first game, lots of room for improvement"
To say #### like "What's his number" is intentionally being disrespectful of the player.
And sure maybe he said something nice to Pelletier in the locker room (doubtful IMO) but even this its not respectful of his family and froends to be so disrespectful of him in the media, and doesnt send good messages to guys like Coronato that do have a choice when it comes to picking this organization.
Sutter needs to be a better representative of this organization and I dont see any upside or reason for him to talk about guys like Phillips and Pelletier the way he has this season in the media.
Even if it is just his schtick, What good comes from it?
