A couple notes on Sven from Elliotte Friedman's 30 Thought today:

Quote:
6. Pretty impressed with Sven Bartschi, even though he was probably shaking with nerves. Mike Johnston, who coaches him at WHL Portland, says Bartschi's practice habits remind him of Paul Kariya's. "[Sven] is always working hard; you can see how much he loves the game," Johnston said. "I'll leave the ice and he'll still be out there another 30-40 minutes."
7. What does he work on the most? "He'll get an assistant coach to throw passes at him while he's going with speed in the neutral zone," Johnston replied. "He'll take them on his skates and transfer to his stick, or try to receive it with one hand...You never see him fumble a pass." Johnston believes receiving passes is a hugely critical skill in the NHL, and Bartschi's worked hard to master it.
