2. When Sven himself speaks, you can hear the frustration in his voice, the defensiveness about his play and how he's handling himself.

3. And this is the most important for me, and I've been trying to avoid posting it again because I know how it will be met by some, but I actually know he's pouting. I mentioned this in a thread a few weeks back discussing Sven, so I'll say it again: if the mods want me to say my source I will let them know via PM, and if they don't feel it's sufficient I will gladly remove this post (but I will not say who my source is publicly to protect their relationship). But I know someone who has a direct relationship with Sven. It's a professional relationship, not hockey or media related.

Sven is absolutely on full pout mode, and is furious with the Flames and has been since at least when they informed him he was going to need to attend rookie camp in Penticton. And not a "good" I'm pissed off I'll show them furious, a bad I'm upset and am now engaging in a battle of wills about where and when I'll put my effort in upset. He's made numerous comments to my friend about how he feels about it that as a Flames fan and someone who wants Sven to be good on this team I find very concerning.

Then as camp rolls along and you hear the comments from management it just adds further validation to the fears I had earlier in the year as I was starting to hear the things he was saying to my contact.

So there it is. You can either call CSW a liar or believe what he's said. I believe him.
