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.

Really? A rookies first game in which he was inconsequential (and that’s not bad for a 1st game btw) is going to be a ‘key’ story line? 7 mins where dude did not drown?
Not beating the lightening. The PK. Vladar? Dube’s clutch goal? Stopping a Slide?
Composure when the bolts scored? All of these are less important to a reporter than a ‘decent game’ quote about a rookie from Sutter.
I’d be surprised if anyone watches the resulting coverage. But hey if TSN makes their $4 off our market, go for it.
