I don't have any ill will towards Sven, I was super high on him as a prospect when we first drafted him. He just plateaued and was surpassed by many other prospects. He still has a chance to be a decent NHL regular, but he's got some work to do.
It is quite surprising to see or read some of the expectations put him on for tonight's game. I just don't see it. If he plays well I'll have no problem giving him some kudos, but I think some Canuck fans should take it easy with how much of an impact they think he'll have. He hasn't done well under pressure before, will be interesting to see how he responds tonight.
