The Sabres seemingly are building to this formula. None of the Sabres starting six defensman fall below six feet tall, nor do they weigh less than 200 pounds. The Sabres have one of the best starting goalies in the league in Ryan Miller, who won a Vezina Trophy this past year.
Plus, beyond Roy, Ennis, and Gerbe, everyone else on the team is at least six feet tall, and at least 185 pounds. Many of these players use the low weights as a speed advantage. The Sabres have made it clear that if any team wants to go up and down the ice with them, they’ll win 9-out-of-10 times that way.
At this point, it is not a lack of size on this team that is holding the Sabres back. It could just be a lack of passion.
I like this bit, only Roy, Ennis, and Gerbe are actually under 6 feet tall.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.
