Byfield

[emsomaso]

Quinton Byfield is officially a monster.

Quinton Byfield is the LA Kings best player.

And 10 games into this season several members thought he was s bust, that he didn’t have either the skill or the mind to be anything more than a big body fourth line player and should be traded.

How things can change!!

I was not one of those.

Keep in mind that he put up many of those points during the Kings slide and losing streak.

True. He looks like a 40/40 player right now. If Hiller keeps him with PLD those assist totals should tick up.

Here’s a scary stat. He was 2nd in forward TOI, and he doesn’t kill penalties.

I haven’t been here that long but one of my first posts was dedicated to my absolute support of QB given all the grief he’s gotten from his detractors on this board over the last couple seasons. It was in that very post that given his size…attitude and obvious skill level he would and should be a ‘monster’. I’ve seen that word echoed frequently here since…and rightly so. Tonite’s goal was the one where anyone around the NHL…player or coach…was compelled to shake their heads in total agreement of that description. Size…skill…and absolute confidence. Monster? How about Godzilla? That goal was a league-wide announcement that he has arrived and about to breathe fire on an NHL city near you. I am QB…are you hearing the roar?

Yep. Loud and clear kid.

Not me. I’ve supported Byfield the day he was drafted. So nice to see his hard work is paying off.

you know i didnt realize that was an end to end off the face off.. i didn't notice at first either that he got his stick knocked and was 1 handing it at one point.. i mean... holy sh*t. "goal of the year" - NHL

Yep, I think from a combination of him being arguably the Kings best forward for a while and the team being short a winger.

Another stat for him, he continues to lead the team with a +/- of +18

"And that gets Jim Fox out of his seat here at Crypto.com Arena!" lol

He also lifted Warenski's stick after he jumped around him but it's really hard to see because it happened in about 0.1 of a second.

All at near top speed. The reaction time alone is elite. To process all of those things and have the coordination and strength to do them is almost beyond comprehension.

 

[jammer06]

The difference between elite and a hope play right there, you pull it off and you're elite. Carry that confidence!!!!

 

[Birdman]

Starting to worry that he’s going to go on a long goalless streak.

I see you cooking up your black magic here, Birdman.

Wonder what kinda odds I could have gotten at the beginning of the season for Byfield to finish with more goals than PLD....

Who is this PLD guy you are referencing and what team does he play for?

 

[Statue4Deano]

With Kempe’s injury I think Byfield has a shot at leading the team in points. Right now it’s Kempe 51 Fiala 49 Kopi 48 Byfield 44. He’s got 14 points in the last 14 games.
