An argument, and a strong argument at that could be made that he isn't much of a leader at all. Many would say "he wears an A, he's a leader". The A is someone who can communicate or " liase" between the ref and coach and is considered a "vet" or someone dependable to add a spark when a team needs it.

Glencross does not add a spark. In fact, with his lazy line changes and blatant whining on the ice (which I have personally witnessed on multiple occasions), Glencross does not add anything that can't be replaced.

Furthermore, many guys in that room would see moving Glencross as a hockey move. And you are kidding yourself if you can't find at least one player in Addy to replace Glencross and "bring it" for the last stretch here. In fact, you would likely find multiple guys and it would be a great chance to see what kind of jam some of these guys have during "gut check time".

Yes, Bob Hartley of all people gives A's to lazy whiners...

Whether you like Glencross or not, I think we all have to get over this completely made up idea that he's some entitled lazy whiner. The fact is he's probably not if he's wearing an A on this team. None of us are in the room, so to say that garbage is really unfair.

Crosby whines at the ref, does he have locker room issues too?
