I don’t think you get my point. If we have a bunch of Colbornes we are the statistically bigger team yes. But that’s not what people mean by getting bigger. Also by using averages it kind of overlooks say a team like Boston who has one guy like Chara who probably brings up the average height half an inch alone. So it doesn’t really tell the full story.

And in response to someone else who quoted me, yes, Wilson is feared. I understand people here hate him and what not but every team knows they are facing him when they play him and they act different.
