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

Sven said he felt slighted? Or is Tomlinson just speculating?
Either way it doesn't make any sense, clearly the Flames were showing him that by giving him a low number (and his regular number too) that becoming an NHLer was within reach.
Whatever, I hope Gaudreau burns him by stickhandling circles around him or Ferland lays him out a few heavy hits. Get it through his head that he was simple outperformed by these guys, which is why they're playing prominent roles on the winning team and he isn't.
