He is listed at 220 on nhl.com and on the canadiens' website. That's as reliable a source you can find. As the season progresses, players tend to lose weight, not gain some. So if anything, he's under that number not over it.
So you're going by hearsay to form your opinion? Do you know Dube's standards for muscle definition? Is he comparing him to Eller who's a pretty ripped guy?
I'm not questioning DSP's conditioning. Therrien said he needed to work on it, so it's obviously not up to the coach's standards. I just disagree with your notion that any hockey player that is 6'0 225# isn't in shape. That's just not true.
I'm not saying he's doing those things, I just pointed to them as a possible ''cause'' that isn't weight related because to you it's as simple as looking at size, which is ridiculous.
It might be reliable but player stats are not always 100% accurate or up to date they occasionnally biff up the STAT ex:they will have a guy that 5'11 at 6', or guy that 174lbs will be listed a 185lbs, Byfuglien was above 270Lbs at some point but never liste as such... Yes most player loss weight during the season but doesn't mean that a players can't put on weight. So your making the assumtion that he is currently 220lbs or below just has I'm assuming that he is over 225.
My opinion was base on seeing footage of him getting off team bus (than again camera add 10lbs perception can be mis-leading), and the fact that is face seem to have extra baby fat, when you put on weight it usual shows in your face, he gave most interview wearing a full sleeve shirt... no I can't tell with certainty how ripped he his. I didn't think my perception or that my face fat theory (subjective) would have been good enough for you, but if reliable journalists, and a guy like Dube making public comments (weight and about is lack of definition), it might be second hand but hearsay... comments weren't made by ramdom unknowed guy I know, I tend to think my judgement might be somewhat founded.
FYI Eller is NHL player so he could be a comparable, I don't know Dube standards but I'm sure that the guys making the comments see a lot of NHL players and when they make a comments they don't use the most ripped guy as the only standard and they wouldn't even bring it up unless it was issue or clearly visible...
Well I guess will agree on something since I never said that any player that 6' 225Lbs isn't/could be in shape or that weight was the only fator, I even said that you can be ripped and out shape... But their a should be a difference between a ripped 225lbs and a fat 225Lbs and great chance are that if your a fat 225Lbs you are not in optimal condition...
I just don't think that I'm making up wild allegation or see thing as ridiculously clear cut black or white, like you seem to imply I do... I guess will have to agree to disagree since I can't prove my opnion (even if most reports seem to go in the same direction) and you won't be able to prove you're...
