The coaching staff told me to try and be more defensively responsible for next season, as my point total that was hyper inflated by powerplay success overshadowed an underlying issue of me being a complete liability on defense in even strength situations. In response, I continued to work on the offensive side of my game so I could score even more points while being equally as much of a liability in my own zone. Yeah, you could argue my consistent lack of defensive capabilities is what cost me the opportunity to get a Scott Stevens nomination this season, but I would argue that without my offensive prowess I would not even be in the discussion. My main goal for S54 isn't to be 'more defensively responsible' even if Hamilton tries to play a defensive style; I will be clapping bombs and trying to match the same kind of offense that will probably win Poopity Scoop this season's Stevens. Also, I was the only Hamilton skater to get a playoff MVP nom, so who's to tell me I'm doing anything wrong? Heck defense.
