    He is often compared to Scott Stevens as a result of his tendency to deliver vicious checks to his opponents.
    His plus/minus during the 2006 playoffs was -8.
    He has a dominating personality, which led to division in the Flames locker room.
    He was traded to Toronto for virtually nothing in return, which led to comparison to the Doug Gilmour trade in 1992.
