Dave Tomlinson on the TEAM 1040 speculated about 30 mins. ago that Baertschi will be playing with a massive chip on his shoulder. He says that when Beartschi was assigned #27 last year—after Burke's silly moratorium on high Jersey numbers—he didn't "feel the same" in a different number. He should be feeling justifiably slighted now with Ferland (#79) and Bennett (#93) in the Flames lineup with no mandated number correction.
So much ignorance. So much desperation. So much false hope.
