Well the same can be said of Giordano who was absolutely awful for the first two months of the season so I tend to believe it was a team thing. I'm having a hard time believing all the defensemen could be individually terrible at the same time as it was a collective issue of poor goaltending and a league that had figured out the Flames system. I would say last season Hamilton did play up to the level of his contract especially once Hartley was forced to give him a bigger role.
