Brodie 149 min 52.8%
Jokipakka 76 min 41.6%
Wideman 76 min 56%
The only real zit is with Russell, and given the fact that Russell was between 40 and 44% CF with every single partner in Calgary and Dallas last year, I'm not sure it was Hamilton's fault.
Wideman/Russell did their best but they were always a sink hole in possession.

This could be interpreted (especially when combined with actual , not judged event, such as goals that drive +/-) that when Hamilton and Wideman were paired the Flames took a lot of shots.... when the other team shot it went in the net and Hartley sent out the next pairing.
