He's almost like a brazilian jui jitsu fighter the way he battles for pucks. Bigger players try to lean on Sam and he responds by shoving the entirety of his weight into their midsection and they quickly topple to the side. The way he does it is similar to martial arts in that it's not an impact but a strategized counter to a larger opponents strength.
You can see multiple times when he should lose puck battles but he gets his body weight into a spot that he can't be moved, I haven't watched much of him yet but I figured he was all guts but apparently he's tenacious and smart.
