Yeah, I'm not a Russell hater, but he struggled last night.
I thought Hamilton's game was fine - not stellar, but not noticeable in a bad way either.
He took a wrist shot from the left side that picked the corner perfectly. I was looking right over his shoulder from my seats and could see the open corner too. Puck was going in and hit Jones' butt-end even though Jones was completely out of position and never saw it.
I believe that shot would have tied the game and then people would be talking about him having a great game.
Like everyone, I wish he was more physical and more aggressive, but I do believe that is coming (slowly). What I know for sure is that he has a great wrist shot.
