It all sounds like Timonen except the boldfaced part -- he's listed as 5'10", just under 200 lbs (and unless he's grown some since he played for the local team in the mid-90s, that 5'10" is, if anything, a tad optimistic). He's very strong for his size, but he is a pretty small guy for an NHL defenseman.
