I'm under the assumption that the media out east is taking everything that is said by Johnny's parents WAY out of context. The media is known to grab a snippet statement out of a 4 minute interview and focus all attention on that, and put their own spin on it. I get the feeling they aren't telling the whole story.
Look at Duthie's insistent on air misrepresentation of Burke's quote straight to his face near the trade deadline. That was enough to make me vomit. I'm pretty sure the eastern media may be spinning the same crap.
That, or the eastern media doesn't like the fact that they are losing a generational talent to a smaller market western Canadian team.
Or both.
