Yeah the praise of the defensemen is really not warranted. I have to believe Gio will pick it up. And Brodie is good, just not a great couple of games. And Engelland//Jokipakka are a serviceable bottom pairing. But Wideman is a liability and I'm starting to think Hamilton is seriously overrated. Making the overall D very average. And expensive.
But these two games can be traced to one thing: This team had a horrible training camp and pre season.
