I love how when Baertschi does anything good it is in spite of Hartley and whenever he has a bad shift it is because Hartley is ruining him.

Not the stance I meant to take. Just pointing out that people are being pretty darn critical of a rookie. Mistakes will be made - by all rookies, and veterans. Sven just seems to be taking an extra hard beating in this thread, as if the loss is entirely on his mistakes and not the entire team's mistakes (although I may just be a bit sensitive as yeah, Sven is one of my favourite players - even though he has struggled pretty hard at times this season).
That Kane goal alone is a good example - Monahan has to do better not to lose that draw so cleanly, and Berra misplayed the shot. 3 of the 6 players on the ice failed pretty horrifically.
