One thing I will say is different personnel wise is that in 6v5 goalie-pulled situations, we used to have guys like Brodie (RD) and Giordano/Russell (LD) out there. They blocked shots in those situations. Hamilton has a knack for letting pucks through that is deflating to me. Every empty netter seems to go right through him. I would personally stop putting him out there on those situations. No point pulling the goalie if you can't block a shot. I know it's just one situation but how much of a confidence boost would it have been to get a 6v5 goal in a one goal game to tie it up once or twice.
