Yeah, everyone looks at the Lightning's forwards and think, oh gee, we can have a team full of midgets as well, not recognizing the supporting cast up front that does the dirty work. Killorn, 6'1 200, Goodrow, 6'2 203, Palat, 6'0 194, Maroon, 6'3 238. Then they also ignore the fact their defense is big and skilled. Hedman, 6'6 241, Sergachev, 6'3 216, Foote, 6'4 227, Cernak, 6'3 230, Rutta 6'3 204, Savard 6'2 233, Schenn, 6'2 216 and so on. It isn't a team of midgets like some would try and lead to you to believe. If you look at the teams that made the quarters, they all have beef and they can all play a heavy game. That's what Sutter wants and to do so will require beef, not veal.
