from Larry Wigge of NHL.com,
“He could play linebacker for the Bears,” teammate Colin Fraser said, and he was quite serious.
At somewhere upwards of 6-foot-3, 250 or 260 pounds, “Big Buff” always has had a big body, plus some big dreams. But a goal-scoring touch was lacking. Until May 9, that is, when he scored twice to lead the Blackhawks to a 4-2 victory in Vancouver in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
“The thing about ‘Buff’ is that he’s not just a big guy,” Hawks defenseman Brent Seabrook said. “He has a heavy shot, skates well and is blessed with good hands. He’s got the potential to be a dominating power forward. One of those X-factor-type players everyone dreams of having.”

what a friggin joke. big “buff” is the biggest ugliest girl in the nhl. any 260 lbs player that backs down from every call out and needs matt walker for a body guard is just a fat joke. no respect for that guy whatsoever, he’s cheap and he’s a chickensh*t and someone needs to cross check him in the face if he’s not going to step up for running luongo every game.
