I don't buy into all this fanboy hype around what Byron brings to the game. Because I feel like there re other players that bring what he brings with more polish. But you can carry on like those who don't get the Byron love don't know a damned thing about hockey.

Yeah, I kind of realized it would come off that way, but I honestly consider myself a pretty stupid hockey fan. I continually find myself reading posts about play/goal/shift breakdowns from smarter fans and going "holy ****, all I saw was a dude shoot from the point and it went in."
So it's not coming from a place of "I'm such a smart fan and those that disagree are stupid", it's more so that I just see Byron as a huge sparkplug that does all the little things right and changes the tempo of shifts due to his tenacity.
I also believe a lot of his detractors are biased due to him missing on break aways so often, breakaways that most guys in his position and salary range get one or two of in their whole careers.
