Agreed!
I thought Sven made some really smart plays last night.

He won a foot race to a loose puck in our own zone and made the simple play of poking the puck out into the neutral zone were a streaking Flame player picked it up and it lead to an odd man rush and some extended pressure in the Coyotes zone that ended up drawing a penalty I believe. That all developed because of Svens effort on the puck.

He also forced a delay a game penalty in the third by pressuring a young defenseman and forcing him to make a play quicker than he wanted to.

Smart plays by Sven based on a solid effort level; not sure what else you can ask from a small rookie. A tap in goal would have been nice I guess...
