Sutter has never been good with the media. So, his responses are not a surprise to me at least. I have some of the same concerns as you do in terms of line usage and who was playing or not. However, those issues concern me less than the woeful powerplay or the brain-farts resulting in Grade A chances. Those two alone left me wondering about the overall strategy.
The goaltending was the worst issue this year and neither guy was great in the crease, so I can't really fault him for that.

Except he had the best goaltender not in the NHL playing for his farm team. I guess you could say Tre blocked Wolf from coming up so he could continue to shine in the AHL - but really I have a hard time believing that if Sutter had said "These two aren't getting the job done, lets give the kid a couple games" that it wouldn't have happened.
