Baertschi's been a passenger on the Monahan line for a couple games now. If he was a vet he would have been getting some flack instead he's getting the "he's been the defensive anchor on that line" which hasn't been the case.
I would have liked to see him "demoted" to a different line but he has also didn't have great chemistry with Backlund last game either. Still would prefer Hartley give some of the young players some leeway like he does with the vets (Glencross), but that hasn't been the case since Hartley arrived in Calgary. Disappointing, but not exactly surprising if he is a healthy scratch.
