I do agree with Bob McKenzie about Marleau. Actually, I agree with him about banning the term "load management." I mean, at least it's grammatically correct. I can't believe people are still using "compete level" as if compete is a noun.

It's not.

It's a verb.

I love you.

Hyman's 20 goals is quite the accomplishment. I wonder if it can be replicated? He does seem to have that extra drive to win a lot of puck battles and has actually made some very skilled plays of late. Is this his peak? I hope it doesn't go the way of Brown post-20-goal-season but I wouldn't be overly surprised if it did. Remove his 6 empty net goals and those 6 shots, his shooting percentage drops from 15.4% to 11.3%.

I don't know if we should expect him to be a regular 20 goal scorer, but he's definitely worked on his game and looks more
comfortable with the puck on his stick. If he sticks with Marner and Tavares there might be enough goal-mouth opportunities for
him to be close to 20 every year. If he keeps developing his skills, who knows? Grit, speed, tenacity, just keep working on those
skills.

He?s had a great year, but given that 6 of his goals were empty net, I think it?s likely we?re looking at the high water mark for Zach Hyman?s production.

Yeah, 'compete' is way better as an adverb, as in, "the team played very competely".

You're welcome.
