The Return of a Legend
I'd describe Calgary as a Blue collar city with White collar money.
I'd say that's a very accurate way of describing it.

Not surprised by this. Hopefully Sven isnt moved though and actually given a fair shot when some veterans are moved.
I heard Treliving and Hartley just on the radio, I'm so happy for Bob, he's such a character guy.
-Treliving enforced that he wants this to cement to the players that Bob and his message will be around for a long time.
-He said they have a really good working relationship.
-Treliving doesn't interfere with Hartley's coaching and decisions, although they have open discussion and debate every day and he's always there to offer support.
Brad's criteria for a coach are 3 fold: he wants a hard and well prepared working team, he wants a team that has a clear identity and is well structured, he wants a coach that can push players yet still walk that fine line and focus on positives; Hartley checks all boxes.
Treliving is impressed with all our coaching staff as a hole but a decision on everyone's future hasn't been made yet.
Pretty sure he has been given a fair shot already. From watching him this year he is still not ready to make the jump.
7-8 minutes a night is not a fair shot.
I love Hartley, but he won't ever get a fair shot with him here. Hartley is obviously more important to the Flames organization though so Sven should be traded for a similar RW or D prospect. It's best for him and the Flames imo.
7-8 minutes a night is not a fair shot.
Any evidence of this? Because it seems to me this is nothing but pure made up ********.Right now, it sounds like he's pouting, feeling sorry for himself.
But recently things have been starting to turn around for the third-year pro, who returned to the AHL on Wednesday. Baertschi is happy about the progress he's made and said the Calgary coaching staff is too.
"I've just got to continue to go the same way every day," he said. "Now it's up to me to start building more confidence, start putting up some points."
Baertschi is used to the up-and-down life of a prospect. He knows to just working on his game and not to worry about the things that he can't control, like being called up. After all, Baertschi pointed out, he's still playing hockey for a living.
If Sven wants a spot, he needs to take it from Raymond.
I think he's got a reasonable chance.
I do to, he has way more potential than Raymond. Sven just needs to make it click upstairs with his confidence. I truly believe the only one he's competing with at this point is himself.
Why do people think Sven needs to beat Raymond for a spot? As I understand it Raymond will mostly be a RW for us. Baertschi can't play RW. Maybe I'm missing something.
With Glencross becoming a free agent next year, that is Baertschi's opportunity to make the club full-time. He needs to seize that opportunity.
