This comes off the heels of Ed Olcyck (sp?) who stated that our favorite Newfie, is a Power Forward...now I never thought of him that way, he has an average bulid, 6"1 195lbs, but come to think of it, he plays huge, is hard to knock off the puck, great shot, he's not fast but he has a powerful stride, very solid along the boards, he dosen't rack up the PIM's but then again, you can't score from penalty box....Now for the older posters here, tell me if i'm wrong, but he kind of reminds me of John Tonelli, with a bit more skills, i'm only 22 yrs old, but I vaguely remember him playing and I say another poster state the same thing and I agree...Is he the coveted PF we've been waiting for? probably not, but you can't overlook the fact that he keeps getting better every game it seems...

P.S.-They should play the "low rider" song everytime he score at the Bell center.
