You picked the tallest player in the NHL as your example. It's not actually normal. I have seen a lot of NHL players in the flesh and what's always striking is how big their butts and legs are. Sometimes skinny legs comes down to genetics as some men have issues building out their calf muscles for example (ask me how I know). There's no muscle tone on his legs at all. Now big legs aren't a requirement to be a good skater and it was simply an observation made by a few posters here that he looks like he skips leg day. I'm sure there are more than a handful of NHL players that have legs that don't look like they belong on an athlete but I would go as far to call that pretty normal.
