So people feel betrayed because they stuck up for him, and now he's proving them wrong with his comments. I doubt very much it has anything to do with Sven feeling fortunate to be with the Nucks.

and i think people are reading too much into the positive things he's saying about the canucks as apparently trashing his former organization.
baertschi is from a very different culture. he's honest. doesn't give those boring and cliched answers in interviews.
i guess that often works against him in a canadian market because it's the expectation in player interviews that players hold back - that there has to be more behind each statement.
i don't think it's like that with sven. he's been transparent with the flames since day one.
