I'm very cautious of Seravalli personally. There are 6 different ways to spin the same story, and how it is told depends on the person telling it. When he talks about Sutter I hear axe-grinding music in the background. He's earned the right for me to not trust him at face value, personally. He loves his clickbait stories.
Everyone talks about Sutter vs players. What I don't like is "reporters"(read:bloggers) that latch onto it because it gets clicks.
Take this story as an example. Seravalli is taking a very broad stroke of liberty here at concluding the story the way he chooses to tell it. So that leads me to question if he's being misleading with the entire thing. My gut would tell me that he is. He's drawing his own conclusion based on the way that he wants the story to read and, of course, again, what will get the most clicks.
I disagree with Sutter a lot to the point of frustration, but he's there everyday seeing what he sees and reacting as he will. I, like Seravalli, am not. But I, unlike Seravalli, recognize that.
So lets squeak into the playoffs and put this whole Satoshi Nakamotoshow of he said she said behind us. Entertain me with hockey, not rumours.
