I think there's some big time oversensitivity among people who seem to have emotionally banked on Sven succeeding. This thread asks a legit question - will he be a long term Flame? If people simply asid "no" they'd be rightly criticized for failing to back up their opinion. But if they say why they think Sven won't be a Flame (or maybe even an NHLer) they are "bashing" or cheering against Sven. The same people who say "Sven needs his confidence boosted - then he'll be great" attack posters who question Sven's attitude as arm-chair psychiatrists.

I do think there's also a bit of "I told you so" in some posts that are negative. But frankly, I think it's a backlash against some of the over the top support for mediocre plays by Sven, the rationalization for poor play and criticism of how he has been played by management and coaches.
