This is so predictable it's not even funny. I bring up legit concerns about Byfield and he goes ape shit on the scoreboard in the game. Never fails.
Turcotte sucks cause he had 0 points in a 7-0 win... 10 point game incoming next

Exactly. A game like this will build his confidence, get that monkey off his back and force the coaches hand when it comes to playing time
What a Bust Can we trade him to Anaheim for the great Zegras ???

My argument would be that he was putting in the same effort in the first two games when it came to the forechecking, backchecking, and creating turnovers that he did today. Was he amazing the first two games? Of course not, but it wasn’t due to a lack of effort. He was just finally rewarded on the scoreboard today.

Reno Sucks!
They play the Fins on Thursday, hopefully he continues his strong play, doesn't mean he has to have 6 points again, but we'll also get to see Simontaival in that game.

Byfield with six points. Now is the time to move him while his value is high.

Could very well be. I didn't get to watch the game yet, but my main concern from the previous games was his inability to control the puck.. he kept bobbling it or straight up losing control. Also his decisions on the cycle were questionable at best. And all of that could very well just be rust. It's great to see he's converting chances now and hopefully that will continue into the next games.
This thread aged well. Like moldy Gorgonzola on maggoty bread.
Oh look, all the fanboys with kings colored glasses coming in to say told you so.
You are just as annoying as those comparing him to Andreoff.
Not like there is any nuance or room for criticism. Oh we forgot points don’t mean everything and WJC has no intrinsic value in analyzing said player.
It’s nice seeing him take this step. Hoping this is a boost for him and he continues to roll.

Yes, it’s much more productive to jump to conclusions after limited ice time. Let’s go back to doing that. Go ahead and post your reasons for us to be worried about Byfield again.

I have been clear from the start. Never called him a bust. Said I’ve yet to see him dominate a world stage with better competition. Said I hoped he would still do so. This is the game I was looking for and hoping for. Dude has figured in the scoring and had a major impact against the worst team in the tournament. Doesn’t make him a HOFer yet either does it Zig?
This is an encouraging step and a bit of validation to ease some concerns. Happy for it.
