Enough with players like Kolanos and Walter in Abbotsford. It is inexcusable to see Reinhart sitting, or seeing Baertschi get benched an entire period during the lockout.
Winning comes first even at the AHL level for the Flames, though they haven't even been doing a good job at it down there.
Baertschi has lost all the confidence he had coming from junior. That blows my mind. Changes need to be made regarding player development, and quick. Something isn't working, and hasn't been working for a long time.

This kind of judgement and comment is mind blowing considering the injury Sven is coming off while transitioning to the pro game. Complete over-reaction.
