If Pelletier feels that way from those comments then he’s a soft ass sad sack who’s never going to make it in professional sports. Luckily I highly doubt he cares.
Have none of you been in a high level, high pressure environment before? What do you think coaches say to these guys behind the scenes? You think a noncommittal answer at a press conference to some dork reporter registers at all compared to what they hear in private from the owner and GM and coach? This is serious business, yeah it’s just a game but you have millions of dollars and jobs on the line at all times, that type of situation doesn’t exactly engender endless happy talk and grab assing. Same as board rooms of companies, same as an oil rig where dollars are on the line and people can get killed. If your job is important, don’t expect smoke to get blown up your butt and people might yell and curse, part of the job. This is big business, not a grade 5 classroom lol
