Tim Harrison was targeting Sven every time he was on the ice, and lit him up twice in the first 10 minutes of the game during a scrimmage. Nobody stepped in for our top prospect so Baertschi retaliated (lets face it, he is not a player that can really protect himself against the bigger boys).
I don't blame Harrison for trying to make a name for himself, nor do I blame Baertschi for trying to stick up for himself. With that said he clearly got caught up in the heat of the moment, and made a play that is not in line with his character.
Its not nearly as big of an issue as everyone is making it out to be.
