Tier 1: Hamilton, Stajan, Kulak, Grossman. These players are really playing subpar. Some play with effort some do not. Regardless, the team will not be a playoff team with these players, whether you like them or not.
Tier 2: Giordano, Brodie, Ferland, Monahan, and Bennett. These players are all capable players. They've lost focus and are not playing the way they should. I know some other fans will place blame on others, but I blame these players for breaking up plays that should be there or not doing enough to create plays on a consistent basis.
Offence is suffering because of our back end failing to understand what defense is! Defense is the worst in the league this year and last year. I'm sick of everyone jumping on the goalies. All too often I see defenseman out of place, falling down, and even panicking or not thinking the game properly. Sutter years ago played Doughty at winger for a game, because he was jumping up ice all too often. Doughty got the hint quickly and didn't like it at all.
This all starts with Burke and everyone under him. The buck stops at him.

How about laying off of inhaling the rubbing alcohol before you get too tripped out.
Kulak hasn't had anything close to a sub par game yet and he was our best defenceman by a large margin, and Stajan has played pretty well in general with the exception of tonight and maybe the game against the Caps.
Pretty wack of you to think Kulak, Stajan & Hamilton have been our worst problems let alone subpar.
