At his best, White is someone that can't be pushed around... No, he does the pushing instead. Sometimes he does it so hard, he
ends up doing something illegal. (Just in a PIM sort of way. Nothing THAT extreme.) That's why a few friends of mine call him
Mr. Anger Management.
That style and mentality proved to be an asset when Scott Stevens retired. They play so much alike in that regard, really. The
only difference is offensive output. Not Whitey's thing.
Things took a freakish turn for the worse during training camp in 07. White deflected a shot during practice that hit his nose near
his right eye, blinding him momentarily. He sat out the first couple months of the season, and even when he did return, his eye
still had some blurriness, be it not so much to where he could play, but as a precaution wore a 3/4 face shield. His physical
presence had backed off, but still played solid defense. The effort would garner him a name drop for the Masterton award.
He needs to get angry again. Nobody likes playing against him when he's angry.
