Randy Sportak from the Sun talks with Weisbrod about Baertschi's injury: http://www.calgarysun.com/2012/12/05...tschi-on-shelf

“I don’t know if we can say (it’s a concussion). Most of the issue has proven to be with his neck,” said John Weisbrod, the Flames assistant GM of player personnel.

“He had some symptoms the night of the game that would be consistent with getting hit, but it would be over-stating it that he had a concussion.

“He got hit, so he was a little rattled. At the time, he was behaving like a guy that got his bell rung. But when we saw him the next morning and had the group of doctors in, it seems to be more a neck, whiplash-type of issue.

“He has some soreness on the base of his neck.”

“We’d be careful and cautious with anybody, but he’s a young player that hasn’t experienced this kind of physicality consistently,” Weisbrod said. “We’d be particularly careful about putting him back in the fray.”
Quote:
“We’ve been really optimistic with what the medical people have said to this point. I tend to think he’ll be fine in the end,” Weisbrod said before watching Tuesday night’s tilt in Abbotsford, B.C. “We certainly don’t feel any pressure or need to put in him in the lineup any earlier than we’re 100% comfortable.”
