He needs to get his fecal matter into a neat little pile and grow up. Otherwise I would prefer he was playing elsewhere because that attitude is what destroys teams. He needs to get his fecal matter into a nice orderly pile and realize that this is a team game and on winning teams all players have responsibilities to both sides of the puck. End of story.

This type of villainizing and blowing things out of proportion has got to stop. It's like he took a picture of himself in Vegas showing off fat stacks of cash.
Did he have a bad attitude when he took the blame for the loss against Chicago 2 weeks ago? Or when he was sat all these times this season? This is a kid who wouldn't even switch his number because fans had already bought jerseys with 47 on the back.
Remember when the coaches couldn't pull him and Granlund off the ice during the first rookie camp he attended? Remember when he finished top 5 in physical testing at camp this year?
Yeah, never mind those things, because there is a rumour that he didn't want to go to the rookie camp this summer.
The reason why he only has 11 points this year is because of his bad attitude. He lost a check against Taylor Hall because he has a bad attitude. He iced the puck against Chicago with 30 seconds left because he has a bad attitude.
Yeah, grow up, Sven Baertschi. How dare you only score 11 points?
This team is long for skilled players if this is how we handle the growing pains of our young talent.
If Baertschi had taken the same exact penalty Colborne took 2 games ago, we wouldn't hear the end of it from people like you.
