G. Reaper Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm hoping that Sven gets in the lineup for game one! He deserves some sweet revenge after his two goals against the Coilers! Go Baertschi! Go Canucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Baertschi looked good with Bonino and Vrbata. I would give it a try for a game or two and see how it goes. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Baertschi - Bonino - Vrbata Higgins - Richardson - Kassian Dorsett - Horvat - Hansen This is if Richardson and Kassian are back and ready to go.

BMorrison 7 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I agree Calgary gave up on him and he has a lot of potential Would love to see him in game 1 I think today was a really good statement game for him today sometimes a fresh start is what a player really needs and I think if he got some playoffs experience it will give him the confidence he needs. This year is also about playoff development so if we can be competitive and developing players good things will happen for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Disagreed, you cant mess up a team chemistry over 1 good game against the Oilers'. If Higgin's line play bad in the first game than yes, otherwise nope because Higgins brings a defensive aspect that will be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Love this kid. Such slick passing, great body positioning... more please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm going to disagree. I love the trade to acquire him, but a couple goals in a pre-season type game isn't enough to get him in the playoff lineup over more established players. Not yet anyway.

LaBamba Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I am excited, but also realize he basically played against an AHL team in a meaningless game. His speed, creativity and vendetta could be useful against the flames though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Strangelove Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Only if there's a spot for him due to injuries don't want to mess up the chemistry this team has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goals against the Oilers count...but yeah, it's still the Oilers. But if a spark is needed, this combo would be one of the first to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickels555 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 1-Sedin Sedin Burrows 2-Baerch Bonino Vrbata 3-Higgins Horvat Hansen vs Monahan line 4-Matthias/ Vey/ Dorsett/ Kenins Richardson Kassian Amazing depth they've accumulated this year...could be a real advantage in a couple weeks.

HerrDrFunk Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 It's only the Oilers and it was a pretty ugly game at that. However, he has impressed me enough to think he should get a shot against the Flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Game 7 (Hope it doesn't get that far, but whatever) Horvat with a beauty pass to Baertschi. Baertschi snipes it and Rogers Arena explodes.

G. Reaper Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 If there was ever a time that he could really shine in the playoffs, it will be in Game 1 of the Flames series. I think it would be a mistake not to take advantage of this unique situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck23 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Just cause he had a two goal game doesn't mean keepin' him up there, plus Higgy has played so well with Vrbata and Bonino. Rather see Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Higgins-Bonino-Vrbata Baertschi-Horvat-Hansen Dorsett-Richardson-Kassian Move Kassian around if need be, Matthias and Vey should sit, Matthias can not perform against Western Conference teams, wont use his size. Good depth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Baertschi has impressed... this was a bigtime game for him, comparable to Kenins first couple. He has top line goal scoring skills, this kid is the real deal, a huge steal by Benning. At the same time, there is no way he should come in and replace Higgins. I would like to see him in the lineup, but down on the 3rd or 4th line. I would put him in as a replacement for Vey, especially if Richardson is back. I also like him in place of Kassian... he is just as much an offensive threat, but I think he is better defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins is more effective as 3rd liner anyways. May as well put talent on the second line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
