dEnnis the Menace Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 That's a nice writeup on the Gerbel. He's definitely changed my mind on him the past month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 His head in that pic looks about as big as Mancari's left ass cheek. Tenacious G! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Norman Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 He's got a nice solid center of gravity and isn't afraid to mix it up with bigger bodies (which means everyone else). The competitive drive is there, no doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 If you see me in the news, you'll know why. :lol: The shooter is known only as SwampD, a bit of a loner described by neighbors as "quiet" and "keeping to himself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 His head in that pic looks about as big as Mancari's left ass cheek. Tenacious G! Now that Mancari's nether region has been brought into the discussion, I believe I can legally mention that, man, he adjusts his junk a lot on the bench.

carpandean Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 bigger bodies (which means everyone else). Not entirely true, which is one reason that he is doing fine. While he may be the shortest player in the NHL, he is not nearly the lightest. For example, Ennis is much skinnier than Gerbe is and only a little taller. I equate Nate with a Bulldog; they may be short, but they are solid. He uses his low center of gravity, combined with his strength/mass, quite effectively.

PASabreFan Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Wordsmiths -- is diminutive even an appropriate word choice? Very small, tiny, miniature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Wordsmiths -- is diminutive even an appropriate word choice? Very small, tiny, miniature? A diminutive is also taking a root word and attatching a suffix to show intimacy or affection...the italians do it all the time. Linguisically......Hockey culture is famous for the diminutive... Millsy, Greirzy , Royzy, Enzo.......formerly Mairzy,....although the Sabres have gravitated toward the non-diminutive abbreviated name recently.... Staff, Leo, Gaus, Gerbs, Van...
