Dustin Brown for example is a guy who is just plain nasty and will try to catch you napping so he can hurt you.
Neimsz just doesn't seem to have that in his game. That doesn't mean he's soft like Bert in the regular season and would rather skate by a guy than finish his check, he just isn't particularly punishing.
On Taylor Hall:
Hall isn't just a slick speedster. He's capable of throwing a big, moment shifting hit and I've seen him do this every game I've watched. In game 3 it was against John Carlson.
He's already 6' and 178 at 16 years old, so it's not out of the question for him to grow an inch or two over the summer. He's still pretty lanky so he still has a lot filling out to do.
He's just a very special player. Ovenchkin light (speed, physicality, shot and a ton of skill) with better playmaking is how I think of him.

Agree completely with your take on Taylor Hall. He is so great to watch!
I can't wait to see how his career takes off.
