A lot of fans really looking to give props to Sven for no reason. Once again, Sven wasn't bad, not at all out of place, but really he was just there. Not a difference maker at all, simply did the things that are table stakes to be an NHL player and be a body on this team. Hope he gets more of an opportunity before the end of the year, but really, his game last night was another proof positive reason why he hasn't stuck. He does nothing to stand out, distinguish or contribute above right now. He doesn't hurt the team at all and he's doing the right things, but we have about 10 other guys that could step in and make the exact same contribution if needed. I only bring it up because quite a few on here trying saying they loved his game. If you loved Sven's game last night, then you are truly looking for reasons to compliment the guy because he was not particularily noticeable at all.

While I somewhat agree with what you're saying, Sven was the primary reason for the Flames' second goal. May have not gotten an assist, but he boxed out the Winnipeg player to give Raymond the opportunity to use his speed and score. I admired that more than the goal. He's doing the little things right, and that's what I am happy for. He almost buried one too, just tried to deke too much and slipped. He's still learning.
