ARTHUR:
I started writing a post called "How Bad Is Whitney, Really?" but in drawing up the charts, the conclusion was no different from the last time I did this, that is to say, all of the Ducks defensemen suck.
So, I'll just put the numbers here, and ask you lot which one is sucking it up worse, Whitney or Wisniewski. Is it the 5'11" defenseman who hurts himself pretending to be 6'4" or the 6'4" defenseman who plays like he's 5'11"?
