I noticed Baertschi on that first Oilers goal. He was the only forward coming back, Hall had the jump on him, had speed on him, he was in an impossible situation.

But of course he'll get benched as a result.

Sure, you don't hand icetime to youngsters like candy, but he's not playing as poorly as coaching staff would have you believe, and personally, I think they're expecting the wrong things from him. Same thing with Backlund.
