Incredible how much leeway Ritchie got immediately after coming to the Flames.
He was given priority over all the young players that diligently worked their way in.
You could tell Sutter just crushed on him because he was a big body that could skate, never mind if he hurt them with a lack of discipline or just wasn't that great in general.
Got significant PP minutes right off the bat without earning them first.
I really hate how Sutter makes exceptions for certain guys and I think that's why he's probably a bit poisonous in the room.
It actually makes a lot of sense when you think about that from a players standpoint.
At least Sutter can't break Pelletier's enthusiastic spirit with his BS.
