Not nearly enough love for Hathaway here. GWG and final nail. Goals in the league are pretty hard to come by for 4th liners, but they can pot them, and he brings it every shift and gets involved stirring the pot and sacrifcing the body to make things happen... very under rated, for those who are simply looking at who else should be playing in his slot each night, as he brings an element that no other roster player really does outside of Tkachuk, being paid the league minimum to do so.
The flyby on Anderson was good too.

The problem though - and this is true for most energy guys - is that they are only effective when they are playing with desperation. And when you dress every night, you can't play with desperation every night. It just isn't possible.
IMO, Hathaway is most useful for this team as a 13th guy that gets games here and there, and when there are injuries. And when they need a spark of physicality.
