So much ignorance. So much desperation. So much false hope.

Wait - he was PO'd that he was given a low number - Burke's usual sign that he was an NHLer? Most guys would be happy - it was a big deal for Jooris.
Anyway, Sven has had a chip on his shoulder for 2 years now, and it hasn't improved his play.
