Giordano is still getting up to speed, and 22-year-old Dougie Hamilton is making adjustments to a new team in a new conference, AND required now to play on the top pairing with said returning player. This is an ENORMOUS mitigating factor, and all a result of Brodie's injury.

This is complete BS. This team is playing like hot garbage, a healthy TJ Brodie doesn't change that because it seems to me this sitting back, getting ####kicked like we're the oilers attitude is pretty contagious throughout the dressing room right now. Saying its Brodies absence is a complete cop out from larger issues
