Sean Somma is over six foot. He's no mini strike force. As for Becchio and Johnson I think that both are players that look out of their depth no matter where and then acclimatize. And do not bad. Both have guts. Till we are back where we belong that counts for more than anything else. Can the fancy dans really hack it week in and out in this division? I think not. Michael
