It's really annoying. Just ask the question.
Her problem is that she is used to asking the "dumb" questions and getting the answers she is looking for. Whereas Sutter takes joy in giving blunt and sh*t disturber answers. And I don't believe they are "dumb" questions on her part (though she sucks at asking them to Sutter), they're just the standard BS questions that most players coaches give the standard BS answers too - usually full of cliches.

Q: "Do you believe in statement games?"
Normal A: "Ya, and tonight is going to be one of them, we gotta come out flying, up our compete levels and give it 110% until the horn sounds"
Sutter A: "no, unless its to clinch a berth or a series"

But even that isn't how she asks the question. It's "Some people use words like 'Statement games'. Maybe that's not even a thing or anything or.... but maybe....do you believe this is one of those, if they exist, a statement game, or...?"

Anyways, I like her. Her writing is good. Her questions just seem to ramble and the reason they seem "dumb" is because no one is sure what to answer because they havent actually heard a question.

Sutter doesn't like when reporters give their opinions.

"It seems like Ruzicka is really earning his place in the line up."

vs

"How would you describe Ruzicka's play?"

One will get a real answer.

For the better part of a decade, Calgary and Edmonton had the two best teams in the NHL and in the CFL, and games between them became much more than games. The players hated one another, the coaches hated one another, the media hated one another, and the fans hated one another. For many years, no other rivalry in sport could hold a candle to the Battle of Alberta.
The politics at the time were very dirty. Calgary was promised UofA and that was given to Strathcona (at the time a separate city).

No idea but you can call this number and they should be able to answer it.
