Exacty, Hartley said he wanted Monahan and Johnny to play the game the right way and the offense would come. We have not heard either of them complain once about doing whats asked of them. Sven seems to want to follow his own mold while putting himself on a bit of a pedestal. Hartley isn't stupid he knows Sven is talented but first needs everyone to buy in to the team concept. I think if Sven seems easily butt hurt and that affects his own confidence. The Flames gave him more opportunities than a lot of players ever get in a lifetime yet he still doesn't realize this. Sven acts like the Flames owe him a favor or that he should be treated better than the next guy beside him "who is willing to buy in and do what the coach asks of him". If that's not a sense of entitlement then he still has some growing up to do.
