He would be a top 2 scorer on almost half the teams in the NHL, and not all of those teams are bad teams.

There's plenty of guys making equal or more than him who put up worse numbers. He clearly likes playing in Calgary, he took a hometown discount to be here. People say he has a bad attitude and that he's lazy, but newsflash, lazy people don't make it very far in life, and certainly not to the NHL. Also, do people really think Hartley is stupid enough to give a person with a bad attitude and work ethic an 'A' on their sweater? Probably not.

If you ask me, the hatred of Glencross is way more irrational than the defense of him.

I think the guy needs to be sat......I have even said put on waivers. He is not consistant, and is a liability to the team at times.
