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

I'd refer to him as a solid hockey player, end of story! He's no superstar, yet he's very skilled, works hard and most importantly he produces. Let's not try and label a player....let that player be as long as he's playing well!
