DOUG-IE! DOUG-IE!

What was going through 19-year-old Dougie Hamilton's head when the Garden crowd was chanting his name against the Islanders?

"I don't know." chuckled Hamilton. "Just trying not to fumble the puck when I was going back there for it."

After getting a few NHL games under his belt, Hamilton is still still excited to be on the NHL roster.

"I don't know if it has really sunk in that I'm playing in the NHL." continued Hamilton. "It feels so weird being out there instead of being a kid watching, and dreaming about it."
