It has been 6 games where the team play has been beyond horrific. That is not Hamilton's fault, and CP's desire to villainize individual players is sickening.
This team wowed us all for 93 games last season. It has taken 6 games to completely unravel that for some of you, which is beyond silly.
This is year 3 of a freaking rebuild. This is a process, trust it.

Wideman is 2nd on the entire team with 5 points in 6 games. Some want him hit by a bus. Gets trashed throughout game threads, but produces. You can't win 1-0 anymore. Wideman has more points than our entire remaining defense corps.
Giordano and Hamilton have a combined 2 points. Dougie is also 4th on the team in PIM, behind only Bollig, Stajan, and Engelland.
