Last year he only lasted 20 games with the Flames after scoring 3 goals and 7 assists.... and Burke wasn't even here then to evaluate his performance. This year he hasn't improved much... and certainly not offensively.

It's a known fact Burke sometimes motivates through the media, which is exactly what he was doing with Sven. He did the same thing with Kadri while he was on the Leafs too. Burke is pretty good with knowing how to motivate players, Darryl Sutter would call out players in the media too, it works with some.
Baertschi had 8 points in 18 games, that's not bad buddy. One goal is not the greatest but he's 21, and I don't know if you've noticed but the Flames are really trying to make Sven into a complete player, they're judging him on more then his offense.
Baertschi had a great game last night vs the Jets but it wasn't because of the one assist he put up, it was because he was strong on the forecheck, played a complete game and was the first back in the Flames zone many times.
You have a very narrow simple mind about these things unfortunately.
Hurry up and get his act together?!?!?! He's played less then 50 games, he's 21.
Jesus H Tap Dancing Christ. What a stupid thing to say.
