Facts are fun without any context surrounding them, so apology accepted. I'm always amazed at your obsessive need to draw direct lines between all situations. It's as if what happened four years ago is exactly what's happening now, no difference whatsoever, all variables being exactly the same. There was also more ice time to give out after Bouwmeester was traded, he averaged 25 minutes a night that year, Russell 22 this season. Also all players are a little different, maybe Hartley sees the benefit in limiting Hamilton more, who knows.
In Hamilton's last ten games he's played over 20 minutes seven times. His ice time has increased. Brodie averaged just over minutes a game in 2013, Hamitlon is currently just under at 19:36.
I appreciate that you go over the numbers with such a fine tooth comb, I just wish you wouldn't poop all over the comb after.
