I guess it depends on the reporter...Rodin would look 6'3 to Scott Morrison and 5'9 to Elliotte Friedman. Anyway, this debate has been beaten to a pulp.

Well, If you've ever been listed on any rosters, you'd know that an observation is as accurate as any "official" listing on a team website, probably more so.

height/weight listings on NHL.com, or CDC, are far from "official" in reality. There's no governing rules stating they must list his actual height and/or weight. These two sources are just as accurate as the NHL.com listing.

<br /><br /><br /> Yep, he was terrible. He didn't look any better than Dan Gendur. As you said, he was injured, that HAD TO BE the reason he looked so bad. I agree, an AHL season (or at least until they light it up down there) is what these two guys need. Pro hockey is an entirely different ballgame and neither one of these guys has gone through a long stretch of pro hockey yet.

Come on. P-uh-lease!! Mario Bliznak was better than Hodgson at camp, Hodgson looked terrible. Any thoughts to the contrary is revisionist history!

Clutch, AKA Stephane Auger?

Cormier's elbow was super dirty, I said suspend him for the Tourney. I never compared the two incidents to each other, but it's one player taking a dumb cheapshot and an international coach instructing his entire team to be a bunch of unsportsmanlike babies. Apples and oranges.

Did you quote yourself? it was a non-handshake...and it barely bothered me. more bothersome to me is why someone would write such a useless comment.

I agree. I don't know anything about Cormier beyond this, but this was a moronic and dirty thing to do. I agree with a previous poster, suspend him for the whole Tourney. And the coach of Sweden is an unsportsmanlike ingenue for making his team skp the handshake and ceremony.

So what. Brodeur shook everyone else's hand. Sweden's entire team left without shaking hands. that's pathetic!

yea, I'd be pissed. I didn't see the game, but if I was Sweden's coach I'd sent someone to give Cormier a message. I'd still shake hands though. It's not like the entire team was playing dirty, every team has a few donkeys.

sure, so we're using the most extreme example of criminal assault and injury during a hockey game. This how poilticians try to make their point, they take the most heartbreaking and extreme scenarios one could imagine and try to convince the mass populace that it will likely happen to them. When I played hockey, I left EVERYTHING that ever happened to me on the ice, I had beers with guys I fought and shook hands with guys that elbowed me in the face. It was a dirty elbow and a classless move by Team Sweden to go off the ice without shaking hands. End of story.

I'm an idiot? If Bertuzzi did that to me, I'd still shake hands after the game (oh, wait, Steve Moore was in the hospital). Yea, I believe in leaving it on the ice, as most sane people do. Of course there's payback during the next game, but I'll still shake hands.

I'm not gonna lie to ya, I have noticed. I guess you're right about Bertuzzi and Burrows. I just can't stand either of those guys other than that they play for my hometown team. I'm very happy we stayed away from Kyle Beach, because that kid is a disgrace.
