I don't know why Sven was scratched either, but it's the thoughts that scratching him means the Flames are re-building wrong or aren't even rebuilding at all or that the coach doesn't like young players at all that are just so strange.
The Flames can be rebuilding and still scrartch Sven, the two things are mutually exclusive. Both can be true, they aren't dependent on each other. And it's this thought that scratching is for sure bad for his development that are so strange.

What I think is funny is that the same people that are pissed about scratching Sven and feel that Sven should be given minutes because it's a rebuild, laugh at Edmonton with how they went about their rebuild by just giving minutes to their young stars.
Like many have said, and what I believe as well, is that young players benefit greatly by getting a chance to sit back and see the game. Pretty sure sometime in the year Monahan will in the press box for a game or 2. Sven might end up there again... it's all part of learning the NHL, and paying your dues.
It's amazing how fast cp changes... laughable actually. 1st 5 games, best team and coach ever. 2nd 5 games... they are the worst. They have 10 points in 10 games... by all accounts, I'm more than happy with that right now.
