Definitely one of those players that looks better with the eyetest imo than if you were to just look at his statline
He's a prime example of why the stat line for 4th liners is pretty useless. Their job is to provide energy and be hard to pay against. Lombo embodies that, frankly I think he's a great asset even if he provides zero offense.

I thought it was C'est le but... but I haven't spoken any french in over 30 years, so I could be very wrong
Haha. I mean grammatically it makes more sense but saying it that way makes my ears bleed. It has always been "et le but". I remember growing up making fun of it and saying "AND THE GOAL" whenever the flames would score.

Direct translations don't often work though.

I'll see if I can find the video where it was first coined by Pierre Houde w him telling the story.

I believe you, and it makes sense... I am pretty sure I saw it that way in subtitles, and they probably did it grammatically correct

I was talking about Zary but yeah, applies to Lombo too.

The one part of Ras' game which I find to be quite weak is his net front presence, he either gets routinely beat or leaves guys wide open.
