"Do you think you're not getting enough scoring from your top guys?"
This question from a reporter came in the aftermath of New Jersey's 4-0 loss to Los Angeles in game three of Stanley Cup. It get asks a lot in all sports. It's a loaded question because the answer is obvious.
No shit. The Devils were shut out. Do you think you need more scoring? Why not just ask, "do you think if you score more goals you will win?"
It's likely, just guessing (and I really hope for their sake there is some sort of reason) designed to elicit an emotional or curt response from a coach. Unless a coach is coy at which point they play with the reporter like a cat does with yarn.
Usually, a reporter's response to asking inane questions is "readers want to know." If that be so, how dumb are the readers and how silly is the paper for pandering to such insipidness?
It's a waste of time and it's grown tiresome watching NHL and NBA coaches lash out in a press conference where asinine questions are asked.
