  1. Perhaps. The average is most used in statistical calculations, but is flawed unless the analyst has mad skills, which they normally don't.
  2. I am guessing the 'average' height has not increased due to an increase in smaller forwards playing regular hockey. The median height could see an increase, given the overall increase in height for all players (greater spectrum). It's the reason I am more interested in median house prices, rather than average. If not properly accounted for, outliers effect the average significantly.
  3. Makes one wonder what Kane's physique is like. He's small, and light - but never gets hit, and has an engine that never quits. I can't remember the Canuck announcer from back in the day, but he always talked about Pavel in the showers and how impressive he looked. Maybe he'd have some intel...
  4. True. Just saying hockey is mostly leg strength and stamina - size and weight regardless. Strongest guys I played against were always the sinew based farm kids - traps up to their ears.
  5. Every pro that I've stepped on the ice with has had a massive trunk. One of their legs usually equals the entire lower body of a regular Sam. I'd be shocked if Pete hasn't been focusing on lower body and core - that's the power centre for hockey. Traps, lats, pecks, bis and tris are secondary. Even junior 'B' kids focus on legs. Glutes, quads and hammies, that's where the money hits the dirt. It's strength, not weight. Classic old school farm boy made of sinew, or the fire hydrant tank guy (aka - Crosby). The muscle beach guys are easy to play against, cause they can't move very well, and usually their centre of gravity is off cause they work upper body way too much.
  6. I think he's still healing up. Matthew's as well. Wrist injuries can take a long time. There's - your better and you can wipe your own butt - and then there's better and you can dangle pucks and rifle lasers at top speed. could explain his trials at face offs - or that's just something that Bo and Dick need to pound in to him. maybe he's still recovering from long haul covid - who knows.
  7. Both had wrist problems??? could be fighting the same injury demons. some wrist bones structures take long time to heal - range of motion.?
  8. I have been trying to place who Garland reminds me of. Brayden Point comes to mind, but that's not it - then it hit me. I think Ronning and Courtnall had an offspring - the ronning spinning, shifting, passing, mobility, and the courtnall straight ahead speed, hunched shoulders, shoving his way in there, punch you in the face. I'll call him Connor Rontnall.
  9. Chaisson was solid - in good spots - but of all the canucks, to me he did look the slowest. not sure he has the foot speed for top 6. Maybe anchors on the 4th when BB returns... ? perhaps could keep up on the 3rd, be a big body
