The team finally went to Gio and Hamilton on the point (instead of the 1D, 4F umbrella) in the last 6 games, and have gone (a completely unsustainable) 9 for 21 (42.9%).
So, no, they were not "very proficient for roughly 1/3 of the season". Prior to the recent change of personnel and tactics, they were extremely hot for 9 games, and terrible for 48.

It's a pretty sad testament on the make up of a team if they're relying on a 31 year old guy playing mostly 4th line minutes who had 2 pp points in his last 14 games to drive the power play.
