RED DEER – Brent Sutter tried to play the underdog card.
Kelly McCrimmon was having none of it.
“We’ve been watching these three teams play for the last two-and-a-half weeks,” Sutter said at the Memorial Cup coaches press conference. “They’re the champions of the leagues they play in so we have our hands full.
“To be quite honest, I’m kind of sitting up here as a loser.”
McCrimmon said his Brandon Wheat Kings wouldn’t be buying what Sutter was trying to sell.
“(Sutter) is the first guy to try to sandbag up here, I noticed,” McCrimmon said.
