Glencross was wearing an A and was a team leader.
The Flames were 15-8-2 at the start of December.
It is not an outrageous discussion (to me anyway) that had Glencross not been a Flame for the 1st 25 games last season the Flames would not have made the playoffs.
Can't understand what happened and hope that he gets a chance to get back in and end his NHL career on a good note rather than the disaster it became after he was traded from the Flames.

Agreed.
I'm one of the biggest Glencross supporters on this forum and even I think that's an outrageous claim. He hasn't been much of a player for at least 2.5 seasons.
