The fact is that Sven loses more one on one battles for the puck than he wins. He has to realize that's it not okay to lose a battle for then puck just because you are smaller, you have to figure out another way to win the puck.
When Patrick Kane has the puck, he doesn't give it up easily despite his size. That's what Sven needs to learn, he can't use his size as a crutch.
I wish someone would keep track of stats on puck possession battles cause it'll be interesting to see how Sven does.

agreed.
hudler/cammalleri are solid guys he should be watching. how to be effective, and not get physically dominated and kept to the outside due to size.
