That's the not the Hamilton I see. The Hamilton I see is a very good skater going up the ice, but not great skating backwards, and not agile at all in close. I see him get beat frequently when he's back on his heels, which is when he usually take a dumb tripping of slashing penalty. I also see a guy who loses his man in the slot a lot. Phaneuf-a-lot.
