I posted this in another thread - I should have posted it here:
Using last night's lines (though it doesn't really matter), once Backlund is back, you have to believe that Baertschi goes down (and should):
Glencross – Backlund - Cammalleri
Cervenka – Hudler – Iginla
Tanguay – Stajan – Stempniak
Exactly who, out of that top 9, is Baertschi going to replace right now?
The other factor that I think some people are forgetting, is that Baertschi has had 2 injuries this year. Since the end of November, he has palyed 12 games - and with very limited ice time. 12 games in over 3 months. About 140 minutes on the ice.
He needs to play and he needs the puck on his stick. He should be in Abby.
