Yeah, there's nothing wrong with what Hartley said.
I just feel pretty bad for Baertschi. I think a huge part of it is Flames fans putting a massive amount of pressure on him. I mean, let's face it. After last year's callup, we were all ridiculous excited to see what he could do for an encore.
He's 20 years old. There's no way he doesn't read the internet, newspapers, maybe even Calgarypuck.
I'm not saying the fans are wrong for getting excited about Baertschi, because hell, he's an exciting prospect, but I just think we may have set the bar a little too high for him this year.
