There are a lot of lineups showing Glencross getting dropped to the 3rd line??
Glencross >>>>> Stempniak
When Glencross floats we jump all over him...... When Stempniak floats nobody notices or comments.... the Glencross expections are so very much higher.
If Baertschi or Cervenka has the same season that Stempniak had in 2011-12 there will be a lot of disappointed Flames fans.

The crazy part of this team to me is how many guys are capable of and have scored 20+ goals. Iginla, Cammy, Tanguay, Stempniak, Glencross, Comeau, Hudler- with the possiblility of two other guys in Sven and Cervenka being able to do that as well. With Hartley's new system, this could be a seriously high scoring season.
