What's the deal with Hamilton?

Russell and Wideman out and he steps up with 17 minutes of ice time?

Hamilton had 4 minutes of PP so 5 on 5 Wotherspoon was #4 and Hamilton #5

Hartley nailed his butt to the bench after his brain freeze in the corner lead to the 3-1 goal. He was first in and did not even slow down Perron from getting the puck.

Unless Hamilton is hurt it might be that Hartley has run out of patience with his Butler like lapses in concentration.

All the folks that want Hamilton to take a bigger role have to be a bit worried about him being able to handle it.


Obviously Hartley and the flames coaches did not see Engelland as the goat on the Getzlaff goal when Hamilton was first in to the corner and had he made a simple hockey play and Engelland should have been getting ready for a pass from Hamilton.

Credit Getzlaff for going hard to the net with the Flames in possession of the puck.
