The pressure of expectations of an organization, a whole city, millions of dollars is not something that's easy to take. It's easy to say someone should just deal with it, but that's not realistic. You can't just expect some cheese-eating high schooler to be thrown into a situation like that and suddenly become a man. I doubt you would handle it any better. I know I wouldn't.

I'm not criticizing Sven for being anything else but a typical 20 year old which is why I've been saying for weeks he needs to go down to Abbotsford play a lot of hockey and get back to having fun. It's going to be miserable for him this season on this bad Flames team if things aren't going well. It's like nobody is listening here as I haven't said once he's a bust and needs to be shopped around. There is no race here to get these kids into the NHL.
