Too many Ks.
Somebody should have told the Rangers this, BTW.

Biohazard released their album Uncivilization on that date. How about the name of that one?Nik the Trik said:Deebo said:Robertson was born on September 11, 2001
Wow. Just a day after the Strokes released their debut album. Really makes you think.

Can get away with it for most of the regular season, but playoff hockey is a different beast. Until the team adds 2-3 bigger players with some grit and edge to creat some room for our smaller skill players it's going to be the same result in the playoffs.
Boston was smaller then the Leafs and they did pretty good. Leafs have some big boys. Engvall, Marchment Korshkov(sp) are all big boys and expected to push for spots on the team. We'll be fine. You draft the best player, not the biggest.brd13 said:So we take another player in the 2nd round who is not close to 6'. Maybe he'll have a growth spurt, I hope so.

In the later rounds you draft for skill. You need to try and swing for the fences because a big body with mediocre skill gets you a big body that just can't play.brd13 said:So we take another player in the 2nd round who is not close to 6'.

Bates said:Heavier in NHL terms does not simply mean weight. Freddie the Goat is not heavier than Marchand.
bustaheims said:Exactly. A ?heavy? game is a stylistic thing, not a size thing. It?s about being difficult to play against.

The OP there was clearly talking about physical size but regardless, all good hockey players are difficult to play against. If what is meant is physicality or toughness or throwing a mean forecheck, fine, but then you can't judge any of these guys today without seeing their game.
Bates said:Correct, but the conversation then turned to Leafs vs Bruins in terms of bigger and heavier.

Yes and, again, I was referring to physical size. If you'd like to have a conversation about how they need to be tougher or more physical or stronger on the puck, let me hop in my time machine and get 2011 Brian Burke for you.

Or we could just go back a couple weeks and see how important it actually is in the NHL.
