Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted August 15, 2009 hes big but prone to getting laid out heavily : Yeah, but when you are 6-5, 270lbs. Yes, he's listed at 270 POUNDS! you can also do some of this: Yes, he wears a visor. But in his defense, he mostly gets attacked by guys so what can you do? how many nhlers can actually stand up with Chara? Not many. here he gets jumped by Boynton, who by the way is a total ******* ***** if you watch the slo mo. He ******* threw a blindside, bare knuckle punch at Arty. What's worse is, he ******* missed him. EPIC FAIL there Boynton. Who then promptly gets caved in. I'm not all that fascinated with him as an overall player. Apparently he has decent hands as opposed to hands of stone. But holy cow can that guy skate. I've never seen a 250+ pound man skate as fast as he does. He's big, he can fight, he can steamroll people and score the odd goal. By no means is he a goon and doesn't really look for trouble........but he can handle himself. Of course the Wings went with Jason Williams who is what, 5-10, 185 maybe? And the biggest team in the league adds another giant sized player. To be totally honest with you. I'd rather play against Drew Miller than Arty. Who the f*** wants to get lined up by that guy? Another reason to hate the damned Ducks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted August 16, 2009 He won this one Youtube That was right on the button. The thing about TK is he can PK, chip in some goals and play a regular shift. Even if he doesn't win fights I give him props for showing up as much as he does. Is he still a free agent? Wouldn't mind seeing him invited to camp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
