Wouldn't they have a little bit more insight as to what is going on than us?

Since neither Millions nor Francis has ever coached an NHL hockey team, then no, I would posit that they don't have a whole lot more insight than the intuitive fan.
It is unfortunate that Baertschi is not playing. I wish he were, and I don't understand why he is not. I also have never met him, and have no idea what sort of a person he is. I have never coached an NHL team, nor any professional hockey team, nor have I ever been employed in any capacity of professional hockey operations. Since Hartley, Cloutier, Gelinas, Burke and Feaster ALL can claim to have done ALL of these things, then I am QUITE CONVINCED that they know MUCH BETTER than I do, and they know MUCH BETTER than Millions and Francis about why it is a good idea to scratch Baertschi tonight.
I'm pretty sure that every single poster on this board has about as much professional hockey coaching and management experience as I do, so you will forgive me for not thinking very much of the opinions of those of you who are CERTAIN that this is an inconsolable mistake.
