I think we all need to stop trying to take 1 or 2 quotes and make big assumptions on it. Ok, so Sven isn't as PC as some others... that doesn't equate pouting or whining or anything. I don't think it makes him any better or worse as a prospect than someone who is PC in all his quotes, but behind closed doors thinks the opposite. Of coarse saying that, I did speculate that he probably read his press clippings too much with those 5 games + being told his NHL spot was his to lose. I believe Sven still has a great competitive spirit, but maybe he gets down on himself too much because he's not meeting his own expectations... but I'll stop speculating now.

I do agree though, that Sven hasn't done anything to justify a NHL spot... his careers on the line here, he's got to come in and bring something.
