Bull. Outside of the last few weeks these guys rarely pinched. It's desperation time so they are allowed now I guess.
As for stats.
Gio should be a 50-60p guy. He was a 60p dman before GG took over. He is on pace for a 50% point reduction.
Hamilton is not going to reach his 50 points and he should be still improving at his age. So that's another so so result.
Brodie is also not going to reach his point totals from pre-GG days. He was trending towards a 50 point D as well.
And most importantly, pinching D give the forwards more opportunity to get open and since most of the forwards are struggling to score, maybe we can connect the two to some degree as well?
