My logic was that he was so big that his style of play didn't work against the shorter people in college as opposed to the NHL where most of them are on the taller side (most being 6 feet or taller). Greene was shorter than Joe, and it wasn't as much of a problem for him. To me it got to the point where Joe was being called for a penalty everytime he hit somebody or came within two feet of them, so he didn't do that in order to stay out of the penalty box. I also think that alot of people wrote Joe off and didn't think he was a good player because he didn't turn into the next Matt Greene (same thing that happened to Brian Lee). I could be wrong, but those were my thoughts on it.
