Yeah, but it's not just about Bärtschi. The idea of icing big bodies against the Blues might be questionable if the big bodies can't hold on to the puck. You don't get anywhere by winning a physical battle and then simply returning the puck to the opponent. Might work one shift but it will cost you in the long run.
Against Minnesota they worked pretty hard for most of the game but they didn't have the puck at all. It looked like a lost game at 1-1.
