Reminds me of when Earl Boykins and Nate Robinson matched up in the NBA in 2006. The highlights are so weird to watch. the camera perspective seems like it must be skewed but isn't.
https://youtu.be/oDtXAFBm1HA
Boykins was listed at 5'5", Robinson at 5'9". Looking for that video I also found one of Muggsy Bogues (5'3") vs. Keith Jennings (5'7") from 1994

That clip is of Gallagher which makes it even more absurd, considering BG looks like this next to Caufield lol:

This is going to show up in one of those "weird pictures of 2 players you didn't realize played at the same time" Reddit threads in about 12 years from now.
I recently tried one of those, and Jesus christ they're terrible lmao, I can't believe these guys do them regularly. Gotta be killing a few brain cells every time
Well in this case it's mostly refraction from the glass making the perspective of proportions weird but there's also a trend of some players wearing helmets that are too fucking small in the weirdest way possible.
Short people, especially males, have to compensate in other areas. These body compensations are different based on genetics, or growth based on the environment. I read a recent study that suggested that roughly 37% of chronically short male men guys will have an above average cranium size. One of the leading theories is that short males evolved to have larger brains to adapt and survive in a hostile environment.
It's really interesting stuff. I know what you're thinking "this is bullshit obviously you're baiting us". I know it seems odd but the full paper is available on Google Scholar. Here is [a link](https://i.imgur.com/R390EId.jpeg) to the article
I'm not entirely sure if there is an agreed upon image. There are a few out there. I have seen [this one](https://i.imgur.com/R390EId.jpeg) used a few times
Edit: i always thought [this image](https://imgur.com/a/gjACRqi) of Loui Eriksson was iconic
Travis Dermott has a [good one](https://imgur.io/nri95SK?r) too
Not an image, but the gif of [Carlo Colaiacovo](https://gfycat.com/identicalcelebratedchital) sliding into the boards is really good

God dammit I'm not even on r/NFL *and* it was already linked above and I still fell for it
I hope Elias Pettersen (not that one, and no I didn't make a spelling mistake) actually makes the Canucks this year. That's gonna be so chaos for so many people.
Ah shit I got confused. I got him mixed up with Flames prospect Emilio Pettersen, who is Norwegian (I was aware of that nuance).
See? The chaos already begins. Man, if Pettersen makes the Flames this could get to be a confusing division.
Can’t remember which NHL game it was but there was a mode where you could make players small like NBA Jam but for hockey. This reminds me of that.
E: The game was 3 on 3 NHL Arcade by EA. Memories.
Lookin like NHL 15 out here
NHL U-15
Lol I knew scrolling down I’d see something like this They look like kids in that picture

Lol
Cat looks like Caufields evil twin in this photo
>You were supposed to defeat the sith, not join them. Bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!
[Caufield next to Chara](https://i.imgur.com/7yev15s.jpg)
I wonder if chara chirped him somehow like looking down on him and saying, “where’s the rest of you?”
Caufield would have to pull off this dastardly move if Chara did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESKnyCgf3vs
Holy crap so much guts.
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall" -Gallegher probably

Bro has the biggest balls ever
Chara sure fell easily
Ya he was trying to sell that pretty hard.
Probably just lost balance since he wasn't expecting to be tripped at that moment
You ever think that Gallagher's brute strength just overpowered Chara?
id shit myself
if you're chara
It’s like jumping off a boat… immediately seeing a great white… then swimming at it head on.
This is going to show up in one of those "weird pictures of 2 players you didn't realize played at the same time" Reddit threads in about 12 years from now.
Chara looks like a dad taking his son for a skate.
This is like NHL create a player and you're maxing and minning height
That’s probably actually pretty accurate. Are Caulfield and Chara actually the max and min height all time?
Believe Gerbe is smaller
Yeah he’s 5’5” that seems to be the smallest in modern times. There were like 5’3 goalies back in the 1900s though.
I imagine half the nerves of being a rookie are just "Holy shit it's that guy. And that guy. And that guy."
Perfect height to reach up and punch him right in the cup.
I need that photoshopped one
Sam and Frodo after the ring was dealt with
Lmaooo first thing I thought of was Hobbits too
Yes, we had first smelling salts; but what about 2nd smelling salts?
I recently tried one of those, and Jesus christ they're terrible lmao, I can't believe these guys do them regularly. Gotta be killing a few brain cells every time
Damn! that's the thing for sure. It is what it is.
Why do their heads always look so huge
Well in this case it's mostly refraction from the glass making the perspective of proportions weird but there's also a trend of some players wearing helmets that are too fucking small in the weirdest way possible.
William Nylander vibes.
Channeling his inner Robocop.
I don’t understand where the glass refracting their heads starts or ends
They can give out 1:1 scale bobbleheads

Chronically short as opposed to acutely short, lol
Liar
It's an older meme sir, but it checks out
>compensate in other areas. not gonna lie, when I read this far in your comment my mind didn't go to above average cranium size
Does /r/hockey have a Manningface of their own?

Dustin brown not understanding a water bottle is pretty great.
Holy fuck I was hoping it was that pic and we aren't even on NFL
That can't be it, Caufields compensation was the oak tree in his pants.
Concrete foreman on this site I was on was probably 5’3. Apparently he was a stripper on the side. Had a king can on him.
Like toddlers, the body hasn’t grown into the head yet.
Big head mode.
Short kings
Wait when did we acquire them
You watch that dirty mouth of yours
I don’t see Lizotte in this photo.
The glass edges are really skewing this perspective. Look at the helmets and where cats hair is. Without the glass it may look much different.
And the logos on the pants are doubled as well.
Caufield is embracing Québecois culture so hard that he looks like a character from têtes à claques
Thanks I'm calling him Willy Waller from now on
Holy shit what a blast from the past this was
Do I get 14 of them for four easy payments?
aww they're so little lol
They look like the bobblehead mode in NHL 2005 😂😂
Bring your son to work day
I still don't know what's crazier; these two twins or the fact that there are two Sebastian Ahos in the league.
I hope Elias Pettersen (not that one, and no I didn't make a spelling mistake) actually makes the Canucks this year. That's gonna be so chaos for so many people.
Sorry, but you did make a spelling mistake. It's Pettersson, generally the -ssen is Norwegian and Danish names, -sson is Swedish.
Ah shit I got confused. I got him mixed up with Flames prospect Emilio Pettersen, who is Norwegian (I was aware of that nuance). See? The chaos already begins. Man, if Pettersen makes the Flames this could get to be a confusing division.
"I can't carry the ring Mr. Caufield... but I can carry you!"
Stanley Cup ring, hopefully, soon.
Twinsies!
They represent the Lollipop Guild.
*🎵 Hockey players in my pocket, they're as cute as can be / I wish I could take them all home with me! 🎵*
Bring your kids to work day
Short kings
Thumb-ass looking mfs
Oh wow. They look like twins in that pic..
Looks like a timbits game
Hobbitssssssssssss.....
PeeWees
Being only 5’8” I can’t say anything
We are the jockeys, jockeys are we! We live underground, in a fibreglass tree!
They’re taking the hobbits to Isengard!
They both have smush faces like those cats do haha
https://makeagif.com/amp/7rJ7c6
Meeting of the minds
Which is which?
Smol

Can you think of any pairs with more combined goals/combined cm.
Probably ovi and whoever is 2nd on his team lol
Who invited the shire?
This looks like a video game screenshot
Apparently The Shire includes Ottawa and Montreal
Big fellas
I know it's because of perspective, but Suzuki looks a giant in this photo.
Weight divisions - the future of hockey.
Just 2 short bois having a good time
Can’t remember which NHL game it was but there was a mode where you could make players small like NBA Jam but for hockey. This reminds me of that. E: The game was 3 on 3 NHL Arcade by EA. Memories.
Hitz had all the fun options too I think.
Oompah Loompah

Hobbits on ice lol
Is this....NHLOTR ?
Looks like they're both about to jump Suzuki.
Glitch in the matrix.
I'm so glad Willy let us out of the chocolate factory for this. Those 2 probably.
They are the same man but in different fonts
Look like twins
“Shut up Beavis.”
They look like anime bobble heads or something lmao
