I don't get how you can possibly interpret this from such a singularly lopsided perspective.
I'm ok with Burke's comments.

But I will note that they seemed to be the exception than the norm. I can't really remember him singling out any other Flames prospect, and doing it so soon after his hiring.

All in all, there just seemed to be something about Sven that rubbed Burke and Hartley the wrong way. Not saying that was the reason Sven didn't succeed on the ice, but something was amiss.
