Somewhere in this thread i'm sure this has already been noted, but anyway my view is that Sven has done something offend the rules of the 'NHL Club' that ultimately governs who gets head coaching positions, GM spots, quality ice time, and the best interviews. I'm certain that Brian Burke is highly positioned in this club, and Sven has thus attracted his wrath.
There are plenty of other examples to demonstrate that someone with exceptional skill at coaching, managing, or playing just never gets a chance in the NHL - it goes unspoken, but it is because they have been expelled from the 'club'. Those who play within the rules, get the best opportunities ...
