If anything Baertschi should be getting the most slack on here based on how he played at the young stars tourney. But I'm not worried about him either. He will step it up in the pre season and regular season

Agreed, Baertschi didn't look great in the Dinos game, although he turned it on in a few spurts and showed he could control the play when he wants to. If I was the Flames brass i would be giving him an earful. Nothing is a given now on this team, even Sven Baertschi. If he can't look heads and shoulders above the rest in an intersquad university game, even without putting much effort in, he's not preparing himself properly. You should always be going hard.
Although to be fair, he was getting a rough ride from the Dinos. Quite a few cheap shots were given to him and the coaches may have been concerned he might get hurt. Kanzig was looking for a piece of ayone that came near him. They must have agreed on no fighting, because the Dinos were definitely taking some liberties. I was saying to my buddy that if I was Kanzig I'd be yelling up to Burke "Can I go him?! Can I go him!?"
