Brodie, who would would likely get the fan favorite best d-man award that season was great playing 25+ minutes a game:

1 goal 6 pts -8

Hamilton and Giordano played great for the Flames down the stretch last year but were not carrying the team to the same extent.

Perhaps I get carried away with the exploits of Wideman/Russell 2015 but after Gio got hurt that year I was writing the Flames off and Wideman/Russell far exceeded the wildest expectations.

I was used to Bouwmeester playing significantly less than expectations year after year in similar situations.

What pairings do you feel played better for the Flames over a 20 game stretch?
What are your thoughts on Hamilton-Giordano for the entire second half of last year? They were widely considered on of the top 2 pairings in the league.
