Jurco said:I don’t think I am a big guy that is going to go out there and be physical like Abby. I am different player. I have been always more skilled guy.
From a St. James article today about Jurco lamenting how he can't get and stay in the lineup, and this stuck out to me. I get what he's saying, essentially that he's not a banger...but, dude, you're 6'2'' and your best stint on the Wings was when you first came up and was a nasty, physical player who went hard to the net.
Jurco needs to be talking about keeping his feet moving and going hard to the dirty areas of the ice where his size is a bigger asset.
