malkin being booked at under 200 while being 6’3 surprises me

kinda just looks like a stocky player whos a complete beast on the ice but thats a relatively lanky height/weight for a hockey player

Wow that’s a good one too, very shocked to hear that.

draisaitl always looks bigger than 6 ft 2

The Mandela (Bernier) effect must be real, I SWEAR I remember him being this massive lumbering guy who had problems skating, like 6'4+ easily, probably around 6'5/6'6, I found out he was 6'2 the other year and was tripped out.

Simmonds looks 6'5" for some reason. Was shocked to learn he's "only" 6'2".

Oddly, we found out how big Filip Chytil is like 5 hours after the draft. For a kid with such freakish size, it just wasn't a talking point when he was selected. They said he has hockey sense and speed, which he does, but somehow they forgot to mention he's 205 lbs at 18.

Yeah Malkin is another one.

I could swear he's 6'4", 240 when I watch him.

Radko Gudas at 6’0 204?! I honestly thought he’d be 6’2 235.

Absolutely insane.

Anyone else come to mind?
Saw Gudas height and weight on NHL 18 like last week and was so shocked, really thought he was around what you thought

With Simmonds I didn’t think he was that tall but him being only 185 lbs shocked me, always though he was pretty bulky until I saw that pic of him in the locker room and he was a stick. Thought he was around like 210

No one really knew anything about Chytil, I don’t think anyone expected him to be that big, in NHL 18 this year he’s listed at like 5’11 165 lbs (unless they updated it) or something like that. I was pretty shocked to find out he’s like 6’2-6’3 200-205

Wait...did you think he was taller or shorter than that? I think that listing is generous—he looks 5’8” at most. Plays with a very long stick, though, which helps his reach.

He seems to play bigger than he is, so I always thought he was maybe 5'11" or so
