I know he is being literal and just being honest and open but it all just sounds very negative from Sven.
"When you are scratched you just sit around and watch". That doesn't sound negative at all to you?
No accountability, no mentioning it is an opportunity to watch the game and learn from a different view point. Nothing about understanding what he has to do better to get back in the lineup.
It just feels to me like he is falling into that same negative mindset that he had after being send down last season. (www2.canada.com/calgaryherald/iphone/news/latest/story.html?id=8208963)
And for the record I hate this #FreeSven and #FreeBacklund B.S. They want to get back in the line up then they have to prove that they earn it.
And everything goes into that, how they play in practice, how the react after being benched, their performance over the next stretch of games. We just got rid of the sense of entitlement this team seemed to have, let's not go and build that attitude again.
I think this is the wrong decision from Hartley tonight but Baertschi needs to realized that this isn't Hartley just picking on him and that his play and response has played a role in his treatment over the last 12-18 months.
