Weave Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Stylistically he is much more Krupp or McKee than Hajt. Mule is a good nickname. He uses his size and strength to overwhelm forwards. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Love the twin towers of Mule and Risto and they make a tough punishing combo. Mule not as obvious but the guy he pins against the boards isnt moving unless he lets them. Pinned Marchand a couple of times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
