I don't see anything wrong with what he said. The kid is 21 years old and this was the first game of his career and he should have a long road ahead of him.
No one in the world wants their first day on the job to be their best day on the job.

I will say I still dont like the "what number was he" line, and the whole schtick with the game sheet is still annoying but the video isnt nearly as bad as it looked just transcribed by Francis.
Still though, no reason for all the schtick. Just say "He was alright, lots of room to get better"

And its 100% this.
I lead a big team of people. Some much younger than me as young as 23, and some much older than me.
But if i praise them and support them behind closed doors, only to then turn around and patronize them and not defend them in meetings with peers or other superiors then that would be the worst possible type of leadership.
If anything its better to keep the constructive criticisim behind closed doors and be more positive publically, especially for a youngster where confidence as an NHLer is so key.
