Burke made it seem like Sven wasn't playing hard in the defensive zone. I'm not sure where the the obsession came from that Burke or any of the Flames brass were saying he wasn't a good all around player""...........seemed clear to me they were asking him to bust his ass all over the ice like he did in his call up a couple of years back.
Whether Burke's call out impacted Sven or he simply decided he'd turn it up in the real season, I couldn't care less. I've been so impressed with Sven's work ethic on the ice and what a complete player he is, very exciting to see.
