I don't mind the tough love approach for Sven, but I really thought he's been playing well. I thought he was the best Flame versus Phoenix, so the benching was confusing. Even still, I don't think it's the end of the world to sit a young down every once in a while.

Hopefully, management is reminded that the more veterans they dress, the crappier this team plays. I think you do need SOME good veterans on a young team, but the Flames have way too many.

I don't like Glencross, but honestly, I thought this was his best game, not saying much though. Still want him gone but fat chance that he's waiving, this gig is perfect for him.

Having Gio out sucks, but I liked having the opportunity to watch Breen. I thought he played well. He's not going to be a top 4 guy, he's a 6 at best, but he plays a role and he's also a good fighter and as much as many hate this, you need that element. If he could develop more of a mean streak in terms of his physicality on the boards, he could be very useful.
