We may very well be dead last by a fair amount of points by then, but I just don't like it.

I guess it's one of those things that can be looked at in both positive and negative lights.
I suppose sending Monohan to the WJC could be viewed as Calgary Flames defeatism, however I would prefer to think that a) the Flames want to support the national teams and b) recognize that playing for our country, and the pressure of that situation, is a character-building experience that can only otherwise be gained in the playoffs and SCF.
