Harmless quote IMO. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree since some of you seem to want to spin drama out of nothing. I will maintain that you and others are overreacting to a big extent. I doubt Sven gets bent out of shape at all by the comment which mean the comment somehow offends fans worse than the player? To me that is silly.

I wonder what would have happened if a reporter fired back and said "Well, you're no Scotty Bowman either".
I guess Hartley would have been ok with it because he is not Bowman.
