Miss a couple games, get back to 100% and get back to the Glencross we have seen in the past.
Perhaps some notes on hustle during line changes can be taken from the press box while he recovers.
Most guys are battling some injuries right now - If I recall, hasnt Smid taken a beating in the last 2 weeks? Hudler is as much of a vet as they come and he found his way onto the ice. Bouma should skip every optional to recover the style of game he plays. Engelland seemed to hurt his hand during the fight...he was on the ice.

IMO, there is no excuse for Glencross to be playing games and missing optional skates when he is playing how he is. Either use the injuries as your excuse for being a step behind and recover fully from them or get out there with the rest of the team and improve your game.

I couldnt disagree more. Hes taking one for the team right now playing through minor injuries while guys who dont have that luxury are on the sidelines.

Hes helping at game time far more than hes hindering. Glencross can keep on keeping on as far as I'm concerned.
