36, those are raw numbers.
He uses a website developed in Asia by three Koreaan guys in a garage because they add more context to the Raw stats. The NHL numbers are garbage.

Kids not perfect, but he's the only reason they finished where they did.

This is what you get for leaving him at the airport:

“He will be one of the four centers who’s putting the jersey on in the first game.”

“The vision is something that gives him an opportunity to be a franchise player.”

So the defense was the reason why he has poor angles?

UPL also isn’t great at reading pass acrosses or reading the play in general.

Defenses fault again?

When UPL looking small in net and is 6’5. Defenses fault for that?

The defense didn’t play great but UPLs issues are based on his game / fundamentals.

Levi is so fundamentally sound and structurally sound. It’s like night and day between him and UPL

If you have time.

Go to a Sabres practice. Just watch the difference between both goalies movement wise.

Let me know when they practice in Sunny Florida. Well, I mean other than the games they play like being in practice.

For any Jeff Marek or 32 Thoughts fans out there, he was poopcanned after round 1 of the draft for sharing draft picks with a friend prior to those picks being made.

Nevada Gambling Board had some concerns despite it being impossible for financial gain by either Marek or the friend. But since the NHL is in the gambling game now, it put them in a tough position. Sportsnet has rights to produce NHL content and when the boss tells you to fire someone, well ... See ya. What a shame.

Levi is 5 inches shorter than UPL, of course it's easier for him to move. And there different style goalies.

I'm glad you responded.

I can't really provide a response due to bias. Like you I was a Quinn fan early on, but when Rhino left and you switched to QuinnFan you became the official champion of Quinn, and thus I have now accepted the lesser role of being the champion of Byram (or the unofficial ByramFan).

- BuffaloHerd




Thanks for letting my champion the kid. But we accept you as the orignal.

I can't understand Byram yet. He has all the tools. He certainly showed flashes last year in a small sample. Am I right to think of him as being a big risk/reward type? I feel like he could develop into a great defenseman or just be a defensive liability forever, no in between. Fair or false?

Seems like they could have just suspended him considering he didn't actually gain anything from it

No wouldn't that be a kick in the ass to the Haters.

Benson - Helenius - McLeod for a 3rd line

He's totally gaining street cred from the homies.

Sure, until this line hits the ice for game 1 and gets the living poop kicked out of them.

That line makes the top6 look tough.

Fair. However I'll place my bet on him realizing the potential in time to be a Top 4. Largely it is based on his better than average Offensive game and average Defensive game. Both of which require further development.

I think back to his initial 3 or 4 games and couple that with a far superior system under Lindy in which the team operates in 5 man units... Think back to 2005/2006 with the trailer becoming a lethal weapon at 5v5 rushes. I could see him flourishing there.

He just needs to refine his D game and that will take some time.

What was Lindy's record in NJ, with a team focused on talent?

When Fitzgerald took the muscle out of the lineup, they went from a 2nd round playoff team to a bottom of the league team.

Lindy's system relies on toughness to open the ice for the talent, it's always been that way.
