That won't carry over to the NHL unfortunately. Most rookies get bent over, not even a spit courtesy. Still have high hopes for Pinto, but that FO% is about to take a massive hit.

Not sure. Head coach at North Dakota is quoted as saying he is the strongest (physically) of anyone he has ever seen in the face off circle. Coach said, Pinto literally "rips the arms off of the opposing centreman."
Certainly, Pinto will have downturn in his numbers as he moves up in competition. But he can also improve on his technique and physical dominance.
