He should hang out with me.

My steady diet of pizza and beer has gotten me an easy ten pounds.

Come on over Johnny!

Did he really not gain any weight? Did he really not grown any more since last season? Did he really not accept my instagram follower request?

I'm going to go eat some ice cream now.

Johnny Hockey does not need to gain weight, he can bend time, space, and gravity to his will.

His size seems like an advantage. If he really works on keeping his head up, which he probably does, it's unlikely anything but a really dirty hit gets him. His reaction time and lateral movement is about as fast as anyone I've ever seen. He moves right and by the time the d-man has moved in the same direction he's already changed direction and gone around the other side.

You can see the opposing defense sometimes don't know what to do when he has the puck because he's almost unhittable as he can move sideways so quickly whereas bigger players take seemingly twice as long sometimes. He's fast for 160 pounds even, the advantage of his speed is visible on the ice. I'm not worried about his weight, I'm worried about a dirty hit behind the play or a hit from behind charge but that will hurt anyone

Has anybody seen an updated listing of Flames height and weight stats since the beginning of training camp? The Flames site has no changes from the early summer addition of Bollig, the UFAs and the draft picks.

Monahan, Colborne, Ferland, Arnold and JohhnyH have all mentioned, or had mentioned, in the press their different stats but I haven't seen these updated in any site.

Put up your hand if you could care less about Gaudreau's size. Johnny doesn't.

Would a pair of these bad boys make Gaudreau better or worse? Because that's the difference 20 pounds can make
