I appreciate the work Ovie but if he didn't train at all I would completely understand:
I'm just glad he lived through that month long bender.

My core hurts just watching that clip.
Call me crazy but I thought the playoffs brought a little something extra out of him anyway, and I'm actually pretty pro-Burakovsky with regard to turning a corner this year. Been watching some of the games again, and in the Finals especially (but a little in the Tampa series as well) I found myself noticing him positively all over the place. Something about it being the playoffs, where you have no choice but to engage physically, seemed to make him realize that there are actually quite a few physical battles he can win if he engages in them. I don't remember which game it was, but he takes multiple players off their feet with hits along the boards through the course of one of the Finals games. It may just have been the series bleeding together, but still.Bura looked like a blob in beach pics last summer, IIRC. So this is good. I wonder if he's motivated by Vrana's emergence.
I mean come on...Vrana is pushing him, it's a contract year. If there's any year to be bullish on Bura it's this one. I 've always felt he has the tools to score 30 someday.

Not going to call you crazy but what was the something extra. He had 6pts in 13 games. Exact same output as the season before. He had 2 goals this playoffs. Both in the same game and an assist on the cup winning goal. The season before he had a big play or two. I just haven't seen more than that
He also led the team in possession in the 2018 postseason and was a +2 in goal differential with pretty neutral deployments.
.
goal differential? you quoted that stat? Just curious. How does +2 compare to +17?
