Torts loves Mitchell because in the defensive and neutral zones...he plays a solid NHL game. As soon as the guy gets into the offensive zone, though, he loses any vision whatsoever. It looks like he panics into forcing plays which often lead to everything coming the other way.
Rupp plays a very similar game, albeit a bit slower, but when you watch him in the offensive zone - he doesn't force anything. He knows his offensive limitations and tries to hold the puck against the boards instead of trying to make a play that he isn't capable of making.
