Oh for the record, I dont hold that attitude at all. Benching Sven didnt cause this team to lose. But benching Sven certainly caused this team to be worse!
Calgary played a #### 10 minutes of hockey and it burned them hard. That said, Jackman was a liability, the team was listless including Monahan, who seems to be suffering without Sven.
So yeah, the players crapped the bed tonight. But... management certainly did much worse.
