Even in the last game against Prince George, Baertschi's two goals were earlier in the game—the 2–0 goal, and then the 4–1 goal. To me, at a very cursory glance, it appears as if Baertschi is a "clutch" player, who does not frequently pad his stats in big blowouts. I would be very interested to see how many of his points come in closely contested matches.

Listening to his interview on the fan this morning I missed a bit of it but they talked to him about how he handled his concussion. Said he spen most of his time resting, never had a concussion before so all the treatments were new, ha to get used to it. Recieved a lot of support from the Flames medical staff making sure he was 100% before playing again.
Talked about this year being very different from last year. Last year it was his first year in north American style of play and schedules. In Switzerland they played 40 regular season games compared to 72. This year he is more prepared for the amount of games and the amount of travel.
They also asked him about his play this year. Says the team is on fire and are having a hell of a season. Enjoys playing on a line with rattie. Also this is the reason I quoted was because the guys on the fan asked him about his game last night, and he mentioned he wasn't playing in the 3rd period because the coach was resting him, letting the younger guys get some playing time. I can't check right now but I wonder how many times this has happened this year?
They mentioned the trade deadline, he hopes he isn't traded. He wants to play and stay in Calgary. He hasn't really heard anything so he isn't worried.
Big fan of the NHL. Checks stats/standings everyday. Also checks the Calgary Flames website daily for team news. Always wants to know whats going on with the team, whether it's players called up or basic team news.
I think that's most of the stuff they taked about. All I know is this guys a keeper and is going to be a huge part of the Flames future
