Dougie Hamilton is 22. This isn't a case of what you see is what you get. This guy had Boston fans discussing trade options for Chara. He'll improve, he'll start to click, this isn't the finished product. Once Brodie gets back and pairings get a bit more finalized I expect a big turnaround from this team.
All that said, I'm not against sitting him for a game

I understand the dougie hate as much as anyone else and he has really sucked this season but he will be fine. He didnt become a stud dman on boston by playing like this. Just give him time. It will come
He was making the same mistakes in Boston but had Chara covering his ass.
Hamilton should be on the second pair. That's obvious, but anyone writing him off needs to give their head a shake. He's having a terrible game, but he'll improve.

I care. He sucks right now. And has always been mistake prone this isn't something new with him. If he doesn't improve on the mistakes he'll be a bust.
Need to turf this goalie rotation and stop messing about. Neither of Ramo or Hiller are good enough. They were OK in parts last season and that go us through, but they are horribly inconsistent.
