He got walked around a bunch of times too. I mean, a guy that size and mobility? No way in hades soupy molten hell should that happen.
It's like being a good basketball player whos way too short, and he's watching Big Country Reeves play basketball. "WHY WITH ALL THAT SIZE ARE YOU JUST A GIANT LOG!"

I suspect Hamilton relied successfully on size, skating stride and reach for defence for his junior career. It probably came pretty easy for him. But against NHLers, it's way harder and requires more effort and thinking.
