I gotta say Pouliot has been pulling more than his fair share of weight in the physicality department. He had 3 big hits in the first two periods against the 'Canes. 6'3" 200 lbs. The first line does get bullied a bit, but Kreider plays with an edge, Nash is strong on the puck too (when he wants to be). The second line seems so slippery that it doesnt seem like a physical game really matters. Then again, we've only seen them for 3 games now, so time will tell.
I have been watching Marty play hockey since college and the one thing is for sure, rough play doesn't affect him. As a matter of fact I think he plays better when he is hit, he is more in the game. Marty might only be 5' 7" but he probably is one of the strongest guy on the Rangers.
