If they need to rest Elliott and Tkachuck then so be it. I have faith this team can get 11 with out them! Go Flames Go!!

I understand where you are coming from, but if the Flames accept the argument aren't the players being handed an easy excuse to overcome adversity?
My preference would be to see the replacement(s) come in with big energy and have strong games. It keeps pressure on the regulars to perform as well as let's guys who are banged up know that there are short term replacements if they need a game to recover from injury.
