You have a very selective memory if that's the case. His comments to the media in the last year were absolutely vastly improved, but when he first got sent down after his early success, his comments were not good. Nothing outlandish, but very easy to see he wasn't happy and pointing externally for his failures.
Comments after the rookie tournament the first time when he didn't produce about how it's tough to produce playing with the line mates he had, etc....
Regardless of what quotes people have armed with, not hard to see over the past few years that Sven didn't think he was getting a fair shake (no longer willing to debate if that's true or not, we all know where all of on here stand in that regards, we've talked it enough
) and his final act of suggesting he wouldn't sign next season pretty much cements that fact, so we can put to rest whether Sven was sulking or not to bed. If he thought he was getting a fair chance, he'd have been willing to resign as an RFA like 95% of other people in his situation do, the fact he wouldn't have really trumps any ability to provide quotes on it or not, it proved out to be true regardless.
