That's a brief snippet of his statement.
He's handling it like a pro a should. Met the media head on when he obviously could have dodged the zoom calls. Said his job to have a good practice, and prepare for Arizona. Explained what he said was trying to accomplish, met with the team, etc.
If he went radio silent, there should be a cause for concern about locker room dynamics. He is handling it well I would say.
Wouldn't kill the guy to admit that he made a mistake, whatever his intentions, but otherwise I agree. Wouldn't have been hard to dodge the media and let it fester.

I love the idea of players being held accountable no matter who they are. Good on you Evason, Guerin, everyone!

I don't have a problem with him being honest(assuming he is).
If he was trying to get Foligno the Hattrick, and would do it again tomorrow. Say so.
Wouldn't be the first or last time a teammate tried to get the puck to a specific player for a mile stone with an ENG up by 1.

The attentions were there but the W is more important than the hatty even for a strong locker room guy like Foligno. Zach made the wrong call putting the hat trick in front of the win and at his seniority within the league, he should know better. Absolutely agree with Evason here.

This was a pretty dirty spin by Dane on what was actually said. Evason should let him know that. This is a politician level spin.

I see you still haven't figured out that Parise and Suter are actually two separate people.
Good for Evason. Not wanting to demonize Parise, but he made a mistake that helped cost the team a game, so he sits out. Should be end of story. It just feels good for him to finally be treated as another player, rather than an untouchable. That is very healthy for the team overall, I would think.
I would also guess that Guerin completely supports this decision. Would also guess that this, along with;
- Staal being traded
- Koivu not being offered a contract
- Spurgeon being named Captain over Suter and Parise
are pretty strong signals that Guerin wants to move on from the old guard. It was never going to be easy...those contracts were set up by Fletcher to be giant turds at the back end.

Not just Parise, but Suter has seen his time diminished, which is only a good thing. Getting him off the PP was great. I'm glad that Guerin and Evason are holding players accountable.
I consider Suter apart from Parise. Suter has been rock for us, IMO, and has more than earned his pay. Having said that, I do think it is a good thing that his TOI has been reduced, as it will reduce wear and tear on him, and better the chances that he is still viable near the end of his contract. It's not like we don't have other talented Dmen to take up the slack.
I gotta echo what others are saying.....you can't possibly put Suter in the same category as Parise right now. No way. Yeah, he hasn't been perfect, and it's good to see that his TOI has gone down as the work is being spread around more on the blueline. But he hasn't done anything worthy of being scratched. As frustrating as he has been on the PP, he is still reliable out there 5 on 5. That is a hole you don't want to make right now.

Parise deserved to be benched.
I’m sure everyone in that locker room understands what happened. Parise has a reputation as a big baby. The younger players are privately liking this.
