Speaking of storylines. Here's a potential one:
What if Baertschi and the Portland Winterhawks are eliminated in the upcoming game 7 and Sven is sent to Abby? (*knock-on-wood*)
Does Ward go with the guys that have got him this far? Or does he take out a "regular" and put Baertschi in? If he decides to go with the "regulars", does he feel pressure from Flames management to play Baertschi? Also, IF Ward decides to play Baertschi, what should be made of the favouritism to play Baertschi over a guy like, say, Reinhart?
Again, food for thought.
