Saros is just 5'11'', and his short stature has caused him many difficulties in his quest to make it to the top of the NHL.Juuse Saros once spoke with Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman of the 32 Thoughts Podcast about his influence in the league, as well as how he has to deal with all of the comments he receives about his height.&quot;Yeah, every now and then you hear, you hear some messages and stuff like that. I think it’s cool if I got to inspire some of these kids, then you can make it in different ways too. So, now and then I see it,&quot; he said.Saros remarked on the criticism he faced about his height throughout the years and whether it bothered him personally.&quot;Not like that, obviously I wasn’t never a big value as a young kid…but it never really bothered me…I never really thought about it too much. Obviously, in my draft year, it was a big topic. But I never really thought it too much,&quot; he said.The topic of the discussion then shifted to the number of times Saros was questioned about his small stature.&quot;Some of them walk in the room, and tell me to take off my shoes. They measure me and stuff like that. There was also a team, which called me and took an x-ray of my bones to see if I can still grow. The result was not growing so they didn’t draft me,&quot; he said.The Nashville Predators are known for producing some of the best goaltenders in the NHL. The 27-year-old praised the Predators for their excellent scouting team.&quot;They did a great job at scouting. I don’t know if they have some former goalie or someone picking stuff like that… but yeah, they have done a really great job,&quot; Juuse Saros added.
