Pat Svoboda on Skipping Practice

[StamkosFan 72]

Not even half an hour after publishing a story on Pat Svoboda failing to report to the Quebec City Meute's practice, the right winger himself phoned the reporter on the story and decided to voice his opinions in an exclusive statement.

 

"I was just fed up with everything, I know it was a bad idea but I couldn't make myself get out of bed. I'll be at the game unless my coaches want to sit me over this, I mean if I don't show I don't get my contract money, and I definitely don't want that. Not that I get paid anything even in the ballpark of what other rookies and top six forwards make. It's been an all-around bad season, and I am literally counting the days til it's over. As for the speculation that I'm returning to Sweden, I have nothing to say about that other than it sounds really good right about now. I could use a little taste of home and I miss being in my territory lighting up the league. Things were better at home. I miss it dearly, and I definitely missed it less back in Ottawa than I do in my present situation," said Pat Svoboda.
