Or the developmental camp in the summer for that matter. He seemed to turn it on for one or two periods there, but college guys and junior players looked better than him for the majority of the time.
For anyone saying that Burke's comments should have been made in private, I have a feeling that similar comments already had been made to Baertschi by others in the organization at the developmental camp and in Penticton. Maybe the private conversations didn't get the desired effect, so they decided to see if having these things said publicly could light a fire under him.
Who knows if it will work, but I don't have any problem with the strategy.
