It was mentioned earlier, that Baertschi is showing about the same as some of the lesser veterans in the lineup. The sad thing is that these are guys we point at being failures for the team and wanting them traded or dispatched to the minors. The guys Baertschi has to be showing the same as are the guys in the top six roles, and more importantly the guys on the left side. If Baertschi wants to win a job on the left side he has to show more than Glencross, Gaudreau and Granlund. That is the bottom line for the kid and he isn't even close to competing with those three guys. That is how he is going to be judged because the expectation is he is supposed to be a top line left winger.

If you want to tell me that Baertschi wasn't showing intensity yesterday or energy or whatever you want to call it, if you want to tell me he didn't have a good game, then we are going to fundamentally disagree and there is no point of discussing further.
