Speculation: Will Burmistrov return to the Jets??

[lanky]

Burmi is listed at 5'11 159 lbs for the WHC. Damn, I was hoping he'd put on some muscle while back home in Russia.

Will Burmi return to the Jets? About the same chance as this...

Perhaps. Perhaps not

Holy crap. He shrunk! He shrunk a lot.

That has to be wrong, there is no way he weighs only that...right?

Can't be. Plus he used to be 6'1.

Heights and weights are sometimes hard to believe. I am 6' and my buddy is 5'9" and he has met Duncan Keith and said if Keith is 6'0 (my height) he'll eat his shirt, he said Keith is barely taller than him. He has hung out with Toby as well and said they are about the same height.

Similarly, people (media) who have worked with Burmi have commented about how he is fairly tall, but lean.

Yea I think he is at least 6'0 but pretty lean.

He is lean. He's also at least 6 ft. Malkin is also tall and slender Russian. Guy weighs the same as me!

Heights and weights are always hard to believe. I was listed at most basketball tournaments as 6'4". Though on the bright side, I generally matched up with the other guys listed at 6'4" pretty well. I was only 6'1".

Well... The 3rd line is part of the middle six.

Heh!

 

[Jet]

Heh!

I saw you comment on that on Twitter. I also saw you comment on something else

Oh that's his NHL height, it's really a simple formula for instance take your height and add two inches the total is your NHL height.

Sip .........its a true measurement........... they just take the players height measurement b4 practice starts when he has his skates on.

Quiet you!

We will keep boy bands out of this.

But that means everyone in the NHL goes down... so relatively speaking it's all the same.

 

[Jimby]

If he is really just 159 lbs I can't see him being back on the Jets.

He's not only 159 Ibs , there is no way, that's about 20 Ibs lighter than he was when he was with the Jets.

 

[StronGeer]

Yes but in Soviet Russia, dinner eats you.

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Sounds like hockey and basketball take the WWE approach to things - list players as 2 inches taller and 20-30 lbs heavier than they actually are!

 

[koth]

There's no way Burmi is 159 lbs. No one who is 159 can take down Chara with a shoulder-to-shoulder check.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Anybody watch Burmi & Jokinen shake hands? I'd have thought they'd have had a longer exchange.

 

[allan5oh]

Now that the world's are over, let's get this going again. Didn't Burmi not want to talk about coming back until the world's were over?

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Jokinen still being given "more ice time" than Burmi.

Russia vs. Finland Gold Medal Game

Nhlers are shorter than their roster height. They're at least 2 inches shorter, its how tall they are on Skates. I know this because I'm 6' and Kane is at least an inch shorter than me.
