Anyone that thinks Sven had a fair shake here either didn't watch the games he played or is fooling themselves. 4th line. Bollig, Jooris, Setoguchi, Byron top linemates. Avg ice of 9 minutes. Stapled to the bench in the third period, regardless of how he had played in the game. Never put into a situation to succeed.
This is the thing that bothers me. The Flames never let him sink or swim, they just refused to find out what he actually was or wasn't.
When the Canucks actually give him a chance to play I guess we will all see what kind of hockey player Sven Baertschi is.
I have the feeling this one is going to look bad for the Flames for a long time.
