#every fifth word from jovanovski's mouth is big and lanky

"Okay! Niko Mikkola! He came in his first year for the Florida Panthers, last year. We didn't know too much about him—hadn't played too much in the National Hockey League. The Panthers were really high on his size and his strength, and he really brought it throughout the season—he played all 82 games. And how about what he did in the playoffs as well?" "Unbelievable! You can't teach size, right, Randy? I mean for him—so big, lanky, good skater. Sometimes you see him leading the rush as we've seen tonight in this preseason game. But excellent playoff depth guy that's really comin' to take this role for him. Great on the penalty kill, covers a lot of ice, lanky and not afraid to jump up in the play."
