Likely the player. The 53 year old likely has a better grasp on things then the 21 year old does. I remeber what I used to think I knew at the age of 21. Looking back on my life, I can see lots of spots where I was wrong and the wiser older folks trying to help me out were right. But often you only learn those things through experience and hard knocks, like what Sven is going through now.
It's also not Hartley who's doing this, clearly he has management behind him supporting the decisions. Which is where the stupidity of all the concern comes in.
In order to believe that Sven is being miss treated, you have to believe that Sven knows better than all of these people: Hartley, Gelina, Cloutier, Feaster, Conroy, Wisebroad and Burke.
This where the story falls a part. Along with the fact that other rookies keep getting ice time. It's not impossible that Sven is getting the bums rush cause Hartley hates young people, hates europeans, or isn't on board with a rebuild....................but at this point, it's far more likely that Sven is being taught lessons and going through the groing pains of a young NHL career and the coaches and management are giving him the tough love that goes along with that.
Also, Hartley, Feaster, Burke and anyone else you want to add to that list that works for the Flames.........................have nothing to do with what any other Flames coaching staff or management team has done in the past.......so stop bringing that into the discussion likes it remotely relevant.
