The most disturbing thing about Vorobyev's play, and it reinforces what he said, is his complete lack of physicality.
He was listed at 6'2 215 in TC.
Now I didn't expect him to play like NAK, Bunnaman and Twarynski. Physical forecheckers who like to hit.
But when you look at someone like Couts, you see a guy who doesn't hit everything in sight, but uses his body to crash the net, fight for the puck, protect the puck, lean on guys defensively, get in people's way, etc. A big man's game.
Voroybev plays like a 180 lb finesse forward, so does Voracek for the most part, but Voracek is far more talented than Vorobyev and can get away with that, though he's starting to play a more physical game as he ages and his skills erode.
Vorobyev likes to play with the puck and make plays, but there's five guys and one puck, and half the time the other team has the puck, so at best you're only going to have the puck 20% or so of your time on the ice (40% of the time your team has the puck), so what are you doing the other 80% of your ice time, standing and watching or making things happen away from the puck?
