I'm not sure that is an accurate assessment, but whatever.
Whenever he's played us I've noticed just how tough of a competitor he was on the ice. He might get knocked down now and then, but it's about how quickly you get up and get back in the play. As far as defense goes, he's only had 1 minus season in 6 years and most of his years have been WELL into the plus side. Not bad considering he's biggest offensive season is 50 points.
You could talk about being often injured since that is a legitimate worry, but no, you compared him to Saprykin of all people. *sigh*
Seriously dude, just admit you're wrong for once. Please. It would make my day.
