I think a lot of people need to stop believing that coaches don't pick favorites. Even the best coaches in the league prefer one player over another for a myriad of reasons beyond just their play on the ice.

I actually agree with you, they do, and very possible that Sven wasn't on Hartley's top list. But I'll call the pro Sven crowd also needs to stop pretending that since his first 5 game stint, Sven ever distinguished himself from any of his peers. He didn't, certainly not with any sort of re-occurence. The list is long of players from the farm that simply preformed better than him during call ups, with pretty similar opportunities.
