When you are that big, you use your size to your advantage unless you are so well skilled in other areas of the game it doesnt matter....he is not that.

That's precisely what people are disagreeing with.
A 5'11", 180 lb player that plays smart positionally, makes nice passes and picks up a few assists gets tons of praise for being savvy and skilled.
A 6'2", 220 lb player that makes the exact same plays gets criticized for not also throwing big hits and battling in the corners.
It's unfair to the player to hold him to a higher standard because he's bigger. Sure, Ruzicka's game would be better if he was more physical without losing anything else he brings to the table, but that doesn't make his game bad as it is.
