And the responsibility towards the skaters for the beginning and the end of the season? Where does that go? Elliott? Because that's where it's going.
The team was undisciplined as all heck for those stretches too. Only until the win streak did every cog in the wheel finally work together. Add in a pinch of Wideman effect and this team was in for a bumpy ride all year. Hamilton and Bennett led the charge in undisciplined penalties over the span of a season.
Elliott couldn't bail them out. This is a team after all, there was a cause and effect for almost all of the short comings of all players.
