Harrington from TBN is a worthless hack who made up a quote to get a rise out of Miller after a bad game so he could grab a national headline. TSN picked it up and ran with it. Harrington should be fired.
Harrington's question to Miller: Reporter : Ryan, there was talk obviously before the game, Patty Kaleta was very upset about being scratched and said "I have to find out if the players want me back on the ice and on the team. Did you guys talk to him in the wake of coming back?
Miller's response: No, he's being dramatic. We're not even discussing what Patty says to you guys. That's just drama and he needs to just grow up, if he's gonna say that to you guys. You know what, he had a stupid play in a game, he sat he was punished. He has to get over it and move on. We've handled it. He doesn't have to go to you guys and say that stuff. So there I'm addressing it now and I'll go right and talk to him about it. There's no need to just.. say that.
Kaleta's actual Quote: “I’m pissed off. I want to play,” Kaleta said. “And especially after watching some things, sitting there watching the game, I want to play. They don’t need me right now I guess. I’ve been pissed off watching for the past couple weeks. No matter if you’re a fan, a player, you guys know what’s going on.
“You should be pissed off. You should play with a little piss and vinegar. You shouldn’t be happy. We’re not in the position we want to be in. We have to work harder, come in and do something about it.”
Kaleta spoke after taking extra drills with fellow healthy scratch John Scott. No other players were in the locker room to hear the Angola native question if the team wants or needs him at this point.
Kaleta said he fully expected to be playing until he arrived at the rink and was told he wouldn’t be by interim coach Ron Rolston. What was Rolston’s message?
“That’s between me and the coach and I have to listen to what he wants,” Kaleta said. “Obviously I’m going to be pissed off for today and not be too pleasant. I think about it, let it bother me for a little bit and move on and prepare myself. Hopefully the team will want me back here in the next couple of games.”
