I still support the kid and wish him well, but I'm not as optimistic as I once was given his performance over the past year.

It's not even a case of "turning their backs", but one of simply believing that he lived off the fruits of his five game emergency recall for long enough. Everyone wants Sven to make it, but it was evident that the AHL was where he belonged. He is now getting another shot to show instead that it is instead the NHL where he belongs and I doubt there is a fan of this team who hopes for anything but success.
