Sometimes the coach is wrong. We've seen a long history of coaches being wrong in Calgary. They are not infallible.
Hartley wanted to win, so he believed he coach achieve that by scratching Backlund/Baertschi. He was wrong. He is wrong.
I want Backlund to be Backlund and I want Baertschi to be Baertschi. They are nobody else and should not be held to different standards.

Hartley hasn't specified the exact issue(s). Nor should he. Just because the fans can't see the reason, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
As Textcritic said, the coaches are the experts and have far more experience and knowledge in these matters than all of us fans collectively. Let them do their job.
Backlund will always be Backlund, and Baertschi will always be Baertschi, but they are still learning and growing and can certainly be guided into being more complete and well rounded players.
