Bench the players who deserve it... not the rookie that doesn't and is playing better than vet who does.

Are you upset because Sven got benched, or because Glencross didn't? Because the two are completely un-related, but it would seem from the outside that you feel the two are linked?
That's fine if you are mad Glencross is still getting ice time, but whether Sven should or shouldn't be getting ice time has nothing to do with whether Glencross is or should. Flames Addiction spelled out how the team should be looking at this very well.
Sven's play so far this year absolutley hasn't warranted a benching if the Flames are focused on winning today. The Flames have a better chance winning with him in the line up. But given we are rebuilding and don't care about results today, it nicely allows the coaches to take one of our better players out the line up, for whatever reason, if they think it will make Sven, and therefore the Flames better long term.
