Glencross definitely plays better on the Stajan/Stempniak 3rd line, over the first line with Iggy and Tanguay or anyone..

Yes, that is subjective to what the Flames get in return for the outbound players, but it is still tempting for the coach to play Glencross on the 1st line on a regular basis due to his experience. I think that is setting him up to fail and that is when we see the soft and frustrated Glencross.
