I think this is a good move by the Flames, and I expect Sven will rebound from it.
As for the meritocracy... I wouldn't say he deserves a game off... but I really don't think it will hurt him either.

You have obviously never sat in a press box. That popcorn is week old if you are lucky. At least in the Saddledome it is. Only newbies are dumb enough to dig into that stuff. The pop machine up there is even worse.
