Glencross hasn't been putting up his usual numbers so far this year, but he has been a force in helping to shut down top lines. Since Backlund and Stajan went down 14 games ago, Glencross and Monahan have been given the toughest assignments. In that time they are:
Monahan: 6G 6A 12P, +3
Glencross:3G 8A 11P, +2
The Flames are 10-4-0
And Glencross gets nothing but abuse.

I've seen maybe one post that's criticized him in this topic, and that was pretty mild. The problem with Glencross in this topic is that he's a pending UFA who expects term and money. Calgary can't just tie their hands in an RB that way. I don't think they can compete with other teams in the off season for Glencross, who's a decent 2nd liner on some of the top teams.
