But you're saying that this beat reporter—whose FULL-TIME job is to cover the Flames—is a dick for having the audacity to ask the coach the most basic and obvious questions to get his take on the rookie's performance??

Did he expect that Sutter would gush with praise in response? Of course not. But he had to ask the question. That's. His. Literal. Job.

You don't have to like it. But you also don't have to watch the resulting Flames coverage either.
He could just be better at his literal job if he wanted to avoid criticism/mockery from fans or be taken seriously by the coach.
