Also, I made it a point in the off-season to mention Suter's season record for points by a defenseman at 51.  It's highly unlikely Zeev keeps up this pace, but if he does, he's break the record in 30-35 games...

I'm not greedy, I'll be perfectly happy if he can beat Suter's record in 60 games...

This is a way too early comparison. Let's just enjoy Buium being Buium. 

To me, he looks much stronger than he was during the playoff game. His comfort level of play is much higher. He has no problems pinching or staying deep in the offensive end. This would suggest that Faber may end up being the better pair for him, but I'd still like him to learn under Spurgeon for awhile. 

Faber can cover a lot of ice on defense. I love Brodin's play, but pairing him with Jiricek probably gets the most bang for the buck. 

I'm not sure why Jiricek is sitting, that is a worse case scenario for him. He needs to play. Either play him or send him down for minutes. Let Bogosian sit. Jiricek's either ready, or he isn't, make the decision.

Shit... Zeev looks so green.  It's great he is scoring points on a PP that is obviously unsustainable, but 5v5 he is looking more like Cale Addison than Cale Makar.

Wait you mean to tell me 1 goal, 4 apples (ALL 5 were PPP) while being -6 isnt a 'Cale Makar' stat line?

He's the next Makar because they have the same number of letters in their name.
