also when talking about who should and shouldn't be scratched, some players are no longer in the development stage i.e. glencross, if it's better for sven long-term to have him sit every once in a while because he tends to get too comfortable, then so be it.
we are all somewhat resigned to the fact that the flames are not a top tier team this year, so the outcome of the game tonight should be secondary to sven's development. who's to say that they know this is bad for his development? i'm almost certain that he's being sat in an effort to grow his game in some way, and not in an effort to skate away with two points tonight. If you gave hartley an injection of sodium pentethol he would probably tell you that they have a better chance of winning if they dress sven tonight.
