Ask the same questions every time, make sure the answers are the same every time. Everybody lose it when the coach mocks the question.
Seriously, let’s put aside the “but everybody asks it!” question. You watched the game and saw Pelletier play. Giving the game as a whole, was anything he did worth asking about if not to adhere to the social convention of asking the question?

Personally i would have asked why after having an impressive first period the 4th line was benched in the second and why Pelletier only played just over 6 minutes.
But I'm sure Sutter would have responded better to that right?
Sutter was lobbed the easiest soft ball question tonight and made a meal of it. Its ridiculous to say the question was the issue, and that Sutter was right to mock it.
If he wanted there was some good insight he could have provided into what he looks for when these guys make their debuts, and what Pelletier brought to the game. Or he could have just made the generic "not bad for his first NHL game, lots to work on" response. Instead he acted like a troll.
