Feb 19 Practice - Byron injured. Granlund likely to play vs Ducks. Hiller starts.

[Blarg]

Hmmm.... Wolf sent down, Granlund called up to play, and Byron injured? Possibly Byron sent to IR and Bennett activated to be sent down on a conditioning stint in the AHL?

When Glencross was flat-out asked if his utilization is where he wanted it to be: “No. I’m disappointed in that circumstance…"

Kristen Odland @KristenOdlandCH
...I feel like I can give more to this team and I can be used more on this team."

[saillias]

If Granlund is likely to play vs Ducks, are they taking Bollig out or... scratching Glencross

Dare I say that the big 4 building may have some Cow #### to clean up? Don't let the door hit you on the way out Curtis.

Pretty sad he thinks he's been underutilized, he's been put in all situations this year including all lines. Your Role is earned not given buddy, and you haven't done much lately to warrant any extra privileges or ice time.

FWIW Glencross also said:

Wes Gilbertson @SUNGilbertson
#Flames LW Curtis Glencross wants to win a Stanley Cup, also says "I love what's going on here." Pending UFA has no-trade clause.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Glencross is confusing me.

If he wants to win a cup, he has a better chance elsewhere. We're still not even sure if we are making the playoffs. Anaheim seems like the place he'll go.

He also says he feels he can give more. But lets just gloss that over in favour of some mindless hate.

They way I read it is, 'I love what's going on here, but I want to win a Stanley cup'.

I think he means he likes what the Flames are doing, but in order to fulfill his dream of winning the cup he has to look at moving on.

Honestly, the only way you can read that out of Gilbertson's tweet is if that is what you want it to be.

Oh its not mindless hate, I don't even hate the guy. He's been serviceable but definitely nothing to get too excited about.

"The exact quote said he feels he can give more, but he's been underutilized". It's great to feel like you can give more but you actually have to do it, and he hasn't done much of that in the last good while.. which is why he's been underutilized in the first place.

Hartley's motto from day one has been "earned, NEVER given" and thus this is why he's in the predicament he's in.

Easy to say I'm mindless but honestly I feel outside of the snide remark about cow #### its pretty bang on.

Perhaps Hartley also feels he can give more. Once he gives it, then Hartley would utilize him more. Right now he is rightly slotted behind Gaudreau and Bouma on LW. If he wants his spot in the top six back, earn it like anyone else.

[Caged Great]

That's the kind of attitude that would be better off this club than on it.

[sureLoss]

According to Odland, Byron was seen in a walking boot today.

[Where ru Chris O'Sullivan]

Glencross has a right to his frustration.

Gaudreau had played better than him to move up, but hasn't of late.

Heard a lot of posters talking about GlenX and injuries, something Bouma has also batted.

I think he wants a chance on the top line and likely should get another look

[Itse]

Unless we expect Glencross to be Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen level of wordsmith, it's odd to think that the maybe dozen words we have gotten out of Glencross on the situation contain his every thought and feeling on the topic.

(Not to mention the possibility that the quotes are not 100% accurate. )

So you know, I wish fans would stop overanalyzing everything. Yeah right

I wish the Diaz pp experiment would end.

He's a good skater, can pass, and has a good shot but all of that is useless with his low hockey iq. He also can't keep the puck in at the point.

For all his skills, he's never produced points with any regularity. It makes even less sense when you consider that there are 4 better and proven options.

Ever since Diaz was moved onto the power play it's been much better though.
