Hartley has already been called out by Cervenka, Horak, and Jones as a guy who plays favorites and is not always a rational decision maker. Hard not to think after reading this quote the same applies to Sven. I find this more than a little concerning.

I don't mind a little abrasiveness in the locker room if the alternative is a guy like Jim 'yes man' Playfair, but Hartley seems to be having personal issues with a disproportionate number of young players of late. One has to wonder if he is the right guy for this team if he is calling out a 21 year old kid in the national media for not having a perfect game. It comes across as unprofessional at best, and at worst is indicative of an inability to work with developing players. I can't help but think this was at least part of the reason he was out of a job for so long before Feaster gave him a nepotism hire.
