I think this is the key. None of us knows what the dynamic is in the dressing room. Sven has shown a lot on the ice recently in terms of hussle, but he's not exactly setting the league on fire. If, on top of that, he hasn't been convincing his coach that he's fully committed to doing what is asked of him then being scratched is totally justified. He needs to learn these lessons now before bad habits are too ingrained. We don't want another 'core' of players where the inmates tell the warden what to do.
Anyway, I'm glad he's apparently starting. I much prefer watching him play than Jackman.
