Just out of curiosity, for people that watched him, I know he has size, can use it to be rangey and skate well, but is he ever physical (I heard this was a knock on him when he was drafted?)?

He isn’t as physical as a lot of people want. My guess is that he is similar to a former Sabre that was picked in the first round with regards to how much he uses his size and how some fans and media want him to use his size.

Perhaps apropos for scoring hockey goals:

"Gone Shootin" from AC/DC's Power Age (although my favorite from that album is "Sin City")

I had to look for these two:
"Shot in the Dark" from AC/DC's Power Up their final studio album.
"Money Shot" from the same album.
 
I've thought someone should use this one for a while. Didn't notice the "power of my life" lyric until I was today years old, so this is my vote.

He is not an aggressively physical player, no. He's big and he's very mobile but if you have been listening to someone like Rivet, he's been leading people astray by talking about size as though it means mean. That is not his regular game.

Anyone who's looking for the next Chara will be disappointed. What we should probably be hoping for is something like what we all thought/hoped Myers would become after his rookie season.

Someone mentioned Alex Pietrangelo a while back and in my viewings that may be a comparable

I wonder what the crowd will be like Thursday.

I almost hope its normal size. With the team playing better, and especially after the jack saga, it would be a little weird to have a big boost just for power

I'm really excited about our defense. With Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson, Bryson, Joki, Johnson and maybe someone else, an elite defense could be built and they are still so young.
 
I know this has been discussed before, but why would he burn one year of ELC? Usually you need 9 or 10 games for this.
