Hartley on Svend

“Every time we sit Sven, it’s like the world is ending in Calgary,” Hartley said after Tuesday’s morning skate ahead of their game against the Minnesota Wild.

When asked about it on Tuesday, Hartley said the Flames’ coaching staff was going to have a video session with Baertschi to show him where improvements are needed.

“That’s part of his challenge,” Hartley said. “Mental toughness is, unfortunately, a big part of this deal. This is a business for men. This is the best hockey league in the world. No one puts a gun to our head to be in the NHL. It’s a privilege to be in the National Hockey League. The day you steal a jersey, the day you get a coaching job in the NHL, it’s a very good day. But the next second, somebody else is wanting your job. Everybody wants to be in the NHL. It’s a day-to-day battle. You have to accept the facts and you have to accept the risks.”
