report of him when he was drafted in 06

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2006/draft/players/48003.html

NEGATIVES: Lacks balance, is overweight and is constantly on the ground. Marginal pass-rushing skills. Injuries hampered him in the past.

Sounds to just be your typical fatty who sits and doesn't make plays....but can tackle if you run at him.

      Fire Rod

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      I was more inclined to say fire rod last year than this year. I still think we are lacking significant talent on this team. Without chatty, our defense has old man burns who is washed, ghostbear who is a one-way player, orlov who makes numerous awful turnovers each game, a solid walker, and slavin. I think we are all definitely mad that nikishin didn't play, but we weren't winning this game with them anyway. The entire team came out flat, which is inexcusable at home down a game. If rod couldn't fire them up, I don't think any coach in the NHL does.  Florida is the worst possible matchup for us because they play very similar to us but are better at doing it. It sucks we're going to get swept, but I honestly thought this team was a fringe at best playoff team once we traded away mikko

      The system isn't the problem. It's decision making.
