With the horrible start this year, I can't help but wonder about how much this team is really missing TJ Brodie.

The defense core looks absolutely lost right now. Hamilton looks as if it's his first year in league, Gio had a great game against Detroit but is playing no where near his potential and Wideman/Russell were spending the majority of their shifts in their own end as usual before being split up.

All of this leads me to believe that the Flames are really missing Brodie and the impact he brings. I feel when he gets paired back up with Gio, this team will start to turn the corner. I know a lot of the pathetic results we have had so far may have still happened with Brodie in the lineup, but one does have to wonder what our record would look like if he was on the roster opening night.

Thoughts?
