I mean Drysdale and a few others are a couple months older and been in the NHL for two seasons now as well. But if a couple months makes a big difference and you are just saying he is literally the youngest I guess so.
It's a fair point, as guys like Power, Beniers, Eklund, K Johnson, and Luke Hughes from the last draft are all only 60-90 days younger than Byfield. Sanderson is the same. Not so much a big plus over a guy like Drysdale (April), but the late 01's like Lafreniere. Lundell and Rossi definitely had a bit of an advantage of age in their draft year.
If it's the tweet that triggered some posters which it seems it is, the guy is just a fan. I think it was over reaction as well but since the Reign were down 2-0 and tied it with Vilardi-Fagemo scoring in the 3rd then Byfield closes it out in OT, he probably got a little pumped.
My first thought on the goal...nice his ankle looks fully healed
No you said something and I responded, you know its a discussion board that's the point of this place. I mentioned Drysdale because it was relevant to what you said and he's a Duck and I'm a Ducks fan so I know his age and status. There are other examples out there. Relax dude, go for a walk or something.
I realize that he's a fan. It's fans getting a little carried away like that that I was commenting on, and I wasn't "triggered" by it any more than you were by me. I agree, though, that it's good to see Byfield moving like that on the ankle that he recently injured, and if the tweeter had made a comment about that, instead, I wouldn't have had any objection.
You couldn’t see the sarcastic tone to that? I was parodying the people on here who claim every player is a bust if they’re not a legit superstar in their d+1 year
I was being sarcastic. 25 goals this season is what I said and that would put him among league leaders.
and unfortunately as you can see too many people see it that way despite him literally not playing this year until now...
Fair, sorry, I couldn't see it because you did it too well
